Bibi Jagir Kaur to Rejoin Shiromani Akali Dal Ahead of 2027 Punjab Elections
Former SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur is set to rejoin the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on November 13, 2026, alongside senior leader Prem Singh Chandumajra, as part of the party's efforts to strengthen ahead of the 2027 Punjab assembly elections. Kaur emphasized working with the central government for Punjab's development and denied plans to join other parties. Her return follows previous departures and reflects ongoing realignments within the SAD amid challenges after the 2022 election defeat.
