Prem Singh Chandumajra Quits Punar Surjit, Returns to Akali Dal Ahead of Punjab Polls
Prem Singh Chandumajra resigned from Shiromani Akali Dal (Punar Surjit) citing ideological differences with party chief Giani Harpreet Singh, marking another leadership loss for the breakaway faction. Shortly after meeting Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Chandumajra announced his return to the parent Shiromani Akali Dal, supporting calls for unity ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections. His move is seen as a step toward consolidating the Akali factions and strengthening the NDA alliance in Punjab.
