Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Sunday described the much-hyped public gathering of the “Taksalis” as well as dozens of other factions supported by the Congress party at Sangrur as a “mega flop show”.
“Akali rank and file has seen through the so-called Taksalis and boycotted their show entirely forcing them to depend upon the Congress cadre to save face. However, they failed in this also with the gathering not being a fraction of the massive sea of people which had congregated at the same spot recently on a call given by the SAD,” said former minister and SAD spokesman Daljit Singh Cheema. The former minister said that the leaders, including Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa and Ranjit Singh Brahmpura, also did not explain to the people as to why they had betrayed their mother party and become puppets in the hands of the Congress party.
