SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal
LUDHIANA: With assembly elections barely a year away, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) seems to have already switched into election mode. The party has started taking feedback of its local leaders and workers about the possible candidates for the upcoming polls.
Soon surveys will also be conducted by the SAD in the state to ascertain winnability chances of the probables after which the strongest candidate will be chosen.
Party insiders have maintained that the recent visit of SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal, too, focussed on the action plan in this regard. Sukhbir, who was in the city on Sunday, had met party’s senior leaders and workers at the farmhouse of a prominent businessman. The selective group of SAD leaders, which was invited to meet him, was apprised of Sukhbir’s visit only hours before he arrived in the afternoon at the plush farmhouse in South City.
