The ruling Shiromani Akali Dal on Friday said that its manifesto has been finalised and it would be released on April 21 at Bathinda.The announcement has been made by party president and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal, however, refusing to divulge any details. “It would be made public on Monday,” he said.
SAD chief said that the Common Minimum Programme (CMP) will be prepared after the declaration of results of general elections. “All political parties of NDA will sit together and prepare the CMP,” he said.
launching an attack on former Punjab CM Amarinder Singh, Badal alleged he was an outsider in his own constituency as he had not been seen by his voters for the last several years. “Capt has been saying Arun Jaitley is an outsider but no resident of his own city Patiala can say that he has met him... He is an outsider in his own city as he did not meet persons in his own locality,” claimed Sukhbir.
SAD secretary general Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa along with senior Akali leaders including Tota Singh, party’s general secretaries Sewa Singh Sekhwan, Mahesh Inder Singh Grewal, Prem Singh Chandumajra and SAD secretary Daljit Singh Cheema were the members of manifesto committee, he said.
