Sukhbir Singh Badal, president of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), criticized national parties for what he described as historical injustices against Punjab, including denial of a state capital, exclusion of Punjabi-speaking areas during reorganisation, and diversion of river waters to other states. Speaking at Punjab Bachao rallies, he also dismissed the recent Invest Punjab Summit as ineffective, asserting that key infrastructure and development achievements were made during SAD's previous tenure. Badal pledged to address these issues if SAD returns to power.
