Shiromani Akali Dal Leaders Demand Replacement of Kapurthala Constituency In-Charge
Senior Shiromani Akali Dal leaders from Kapurthala Assembly constituency have called for replacing the current constituency in-charge, HS Walia, citing his unilateral approach and sidelining of experienced party members. They claim his leadership has weakened the party's position and led to departures of prominent leaders. While expressing continued loyalty to party president Sukhbir Singh Badal, these leaders allege that Walia's style has strained relations with traditional workers and contributed to the party's decline in the area.
