SAD's President Badal Receives Backing Amid Controversies

Shiromani Akali Dal's women wing supports Sukhbir Singh Badal as SAD President amidst inner-party controversies. Despite revolts by senior leaders, Badal assures efforts for expanding Istri Akali Dal's influence in upcoming elections, emphasizing effective women's leadership. The working committee reaffirms faith in Badal's stewardship.

In a remarkable show of solidarity, the Shiromani Akali Dal's (SAD) women wing declared its steadfast support for party president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Monday, amidst growing dissent within the party ranks.

During a meeting in Bathinda, spearheaded by Istri Akali Dal president Hargobind Kaur, members underscored their successful outreach to women in the constituency, cited as pivotal to Harsimrat Kaur Badal's electoral victory. However, the party faces internal challenges, with a number of senior leaders demanding Badal's resignation following the SAD's poor performance in the recent Lok Sabha elections.

Despite the ongoing turmoil, Badal remains optimistic, readying plans to bolster the Istri Akali Dal's presence statewide. He aims to establish robust women leadership across booth, village, and district levels, which he believes will be crucial for the 2027 assembly elections. Last week, reaffirming his position, the SAD working committee expressed unanimous confidence in Badal's leadership.
