Sukhbir Singh Badal Highlights Punjab's Historical Issues, Credits SAD for Development

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal criticized national parties, particularly those based in Delhi, for what he described as historical injustices against Punjab. He alleged denial of a state capital, exclusion of Punjabi-speaking areas during reorganisation, and diversion of half the state's river waters to Rajasthan. Badal credited SAD with protecting Punjab's water rights and developing infrastructure, while dismissing recent government initiatives as continuations of SAD's work. He urged Punjabis to support SAD to safeguard the state's interests.
