On Monday, former Punjab Congress chief and MP, Mohinder Singh KP, made headlines by becoming a member of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). His resolution got here after a private go to from SAD chief Sukhbir Badal, signalling a major shift in Punjab’s political panorama. KP’s affect inside Jalandhar’s Dalit group provides weight to his transfer.
Despite expectations of an increase in stature following Channi’s ascension to Chief Ministership, KP’s aspirations have been thwarted when he was denied an MLA ticket for Adampur throughout Channi’s tenure, given as a substitute to Sukhvinder Kotli. SAD’s nomination of Mohinder Singh KP provides additional warmth to the Jalandhar political enviornment, setting the stage for a showdown between two influential ‘samdhis’ (relations by marriage) in the upcoming electoral battle.
