Prem Singh Chandumajra Quits SAD (Punar Surjit), Plans Return to Parent Akali Dal
Prem Singh Chandumajra resigned from Shiromani Akali Dal (Punar Surjit), citing ideological differences and a lack of consensus on Panthic unity with party chief Giani Harpreet Singh. His departure follows several other leaders leaving the breakaway faction, which formed after splitting from the Sukhbir Singh Badal-led Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). Chandumajra is expected to rejoin the parent SAD, supporting calls for unity among Akali factions ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, aligning with efforts to strengthen the NDA alliance in the state.
