The party alleged that BJP used dirty tricks to induct him
Manjinder Singh Sirsa, (BJP), after leaving Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Saturday trashed allegations leveled by SAD leadership that BJP coerced and used dirty tricks to induct him into the party.
Mr. Sirsa said he had joined the BJP with the sole agenda to serve Sikh community and the BJP had provided him a platform which will help resolve Sikh issues prevailing for long.
Mr. Sirsa said that he was surprised at these allegations leveled by Akali leadership. “If the BJP had to coerce me, the party would have asked me to join as the president of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) and not as an individual. I joined voluntarily because after breaking alliance with the BJP, the Akali Dal was not in a position to work on resolving Sikh issues as there was no one left to help them out,” he said.
