Akali Dal’s focus is to bring development back on track in Punjab: Harsimrat Kaur Badal

Former Union Minister is confident her party will win after parting ways with BJP.
As the century-old Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) campaigns intensely across Punjab ahead of the Assembly election, due in early 2022, with the aim of usurping the Congress and forming the next government in the border State, former Union Cabinet Minister and senior SAD leader Harsimrat Kaur Badal, in an exclusive interview, asserts that the phenomenal response to Akali Dal rallies across the State indicates that the party is all set to form the next government in Punjab.
For the SAD, the issue has remained the same in every election, which is peace and prosperity, communal harmony, development of Punjab and the welfare of every segment. That is what we had delivered in the 10 years of our governance. In the last five years, Punjab has gone down on every parameter — be it education, health, jobs, social welfare sector or overall development.
