Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], July 7 : Dismissing speculations of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) reuniting with the BJP, SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal said on Thursday that they are having a routine meeting and there is no question of reunion with the BJP.
"We have an alliance with the BSP, so how is this question even arising? This is our routine meeting. I have come after a month, so we are having a routine meeting. We held the meeting to discuss the VAT increase and water issues, said the President of Shiromani Akali Dal, Sukhbir Singh Badal.
The Shiromani Akali Dal had been a close ally of the BJP in Punjab and had fought many state elections together. But the Shiromani Akali Dal had broken off its alliance with the BJP over three farm laws that were eventually repealed.
