Rebel Akali Leaders Launch 'Shiromani Akali Dal Sudhar Lehar'

Rebel Akali leaders launched the 'Shiromani Akali Dal Sudhar Lehar,' aiming to rejuvenate the 103-year-old party. This move follows a call for the resignation of SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal after the party's poor performance in recent elections. The group, led by Gurpartap Singh Wadala, seeks to address leadership issues and revive the party's influence.

Rebel Akali leaders on Monday unveiled the 'Shiromani Akali Dal Sudhar Lehar,' a new initiative aimed at strengthening and revitalizing the 103-year-old party. The move comes amid growing discontent with the current leadership, particularly SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal, following the party's recent electoral losses.

The dissenting leaders, including notable figures like former MP Chandumajra and ex-MLA Gurpartap Singh Wadala, have called for Badal to step down. Wadala has been appointed as the convener of the reform movement.

The group aims to reconnect with expelled leaders and celebrate key anniversaries of historical figures to reinvigorate the party's base. Wadala emphasized the need for new leadership, citing the unimplemented Jhunda committee report as a missed opportunity for change.
