Commenting on the decision of BJP of going solo in Punjab, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal said that Akali Dal is not driven by number games like some political parties.
“Shiromani Akali Dal is not just a political party driven by number games, like some national parties. We are a 103-year-old movement with a clear vision and we have always stood by and for principles. That will continue to be our goal. Shiromani Akali Dal core committee has already made our position and priorities clear. For us, it is principles above politics and issues above any political numbers. We are the largest democratic representative organisation of farmers and have always led the fight for their rights from the front and introduced historic measures in govts for their welfare. Our party stands by high principles and is committed to safeguarding Panth and Panjab,” said Sukhbir Badal.
