Political Turnabout: Surjit Kaur's Swift Reversal Between AAP and SAD
  • Country:
  • India

In a dramatic turn of events, Surjit Kaur switched political allegiance twice within mere hours on Tuesday, raising eyebrows and questions about internal party dynamics. Initially joining the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the presence of Punjab's Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Kaur quickly reversed her decision by evening, returning to the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD).

This dizzying flip-flop unfolded just days after SAD had withdrawn support for Kaur in favor of a BSP candidate for the Jalandhar West bypoll. Kaur's apparent change of heart was officially welcomed back into the SAD fold by rebel Akali leader Bibi Jagir Kaur.

The incident puts a spotlight on the turbulence within SAD, particularly given the active rebellion against party chief Sukhbir Singh Badal by senior members. This political drama continues to evolve as Kaur remains a pivotal character in the unfolding bypoll saga.
