Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal on Wednesday said that the Shiromani Akali Dal will have a tie-up with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the Delhi Assembly elections.
Interacting with reporters on the sidelines of a function in Jalandhar, Badal said that all formalities regarding seat sharing between the two parties will be completed soon.
“SAD would soon finalize the seat arrangement with its alliance partner BJP for the Delhi assembly elections in the coming few days,” he said.
“We will wipe out the Congress from Delhi. We will be camping in Delhi to ensure the victory of the SAD-BJP alliance,” he said, adding that the Akali Dal and BJP were also ready for the lok Sabha battle.
“The leadership of the alliance partners would meet soon for chalking out the strategy of these polls, and the candidates for the polls would be announced at appropriate time,” he added.
Both parties have an alliance government in Punjab, and their alliance itself is nearly three decades old. Akali Dal is upbeat about winning some of the assembly seats in the Sikh-dominated areas of Delhi.The party swept the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee elections in February this year.
