Another former minister returns to SAD: Maluka calls it his ‘ghar vapsi'
Bathinda: A two-time former minister in the SAD-BJP govt, Sikandar Singh Maluka, has rejoined the Shiromani Akali Dal . Maluka had earlier joined the Akali Dal Sudhar Lehar, which had formed by dissidents displeased with party president Sukhbir Singh Badal. After rejoining the party, Maluka said he would campaign for the party candidate in the Ludhiana West byelection. Maluka's daughter-in-law, Parampal Kaur Sidhu, contested the 2024 parliamentary elections from Bathinda as a BJP nominee against SAD's Harsimrat Kaur Badal. Maluka, who was elected the MLA from Rampura Phul in 1997 and 2012, was displeased when his request to be fielded from Maur seat for the 2022 assembly polls was not accepted. Speaking to TOI on Saturday, Maluka said, "I have done ghar vapsi (returned home), and now whatever duty the party assigns, I will discharge it with full devotion, including campaigning for the party candidate in Ludhiana West." Maluka was elevated to the minister's rank in the Parkash Singh Badal govt in 1997, despite being a first-time MLA. He was again made a minister in 2012 in the Badal cabinet. Many leaders, including the now-deceased Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, his son Parminder Singh Dhindsa, Prem Singh Chandumajra, Bibi Jagir Kaur, and Surjit Singh Rakhra, had formed Sudhar Lehar after parting ways with SAD. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Sukhbir, while announcing Maluka's rejoining in a post on X on Saturday, said it gave him "immense pleasure" to welcome the "veteran Akali leader" back to SAD. "Maluka Sahab has significantly contributed to strengthening the party under the leadership of Parkash Singh Badal. His return will further strengthen the party, and he will immediately join the party's campaign in Ludhiana West. With the support of the people of Punjab, Akali Dal is growing stronger with each passing day. I urge all Punjabis to come together to strengthen Punjab's only regional party for the peace and development of the state," he said. Earlier, in an indication of SAD regaining some of its lost ground, former ministers Sohan Singh Thandal and Anil Joshi rejoined the party in recent days. Four-time MLA Thandal, who joined BJP after resigning from SAD in Nov 2024, was nominated by the BJP to unsuccessfully contest the byelection from the Chabbewal assembly segment immediately upon his switching sides. Joshi quit BJP and joined SAD after he voiced support for the farmers' protest in 2021. He left SAD in Nov 2024, but joined back recently. Akali Dal also welcomed Preeti Malhotra, the women's wing head of the Punjab unit of the Aam Aadmi Party, earlier this week. Malhotra was expelled by AAP after she revolted against the party and raised issues about the dominance of Delhi-based leaders in the party's Punjab unit.

TMC warns Anubrata Mondal, Kajal Sheikh against ‘infighting' ahead of 2026 Assembly elections
The Top leaders of the Trinamool Congress, including party state president Subrata Bakshi, met Anubrata Mondal and his party rival Kajal Sheikh on Saturday ahead of the July 21 Martyrs' Day preparation meeting. The meeting, which took place at the party's Bhabanipur office, was also attended by Kolkata Mayor and state minister Firhad Hakim and state Sports Minister Aroop Biswas. According to party sources, both Mondal and Sheikh were told that no 'infighting' would be tolerated ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections. They were instructed to refrain from making public statements against each other. If repeated, the party warned, strict disciplinary action would follow. Mondal, in particular, was advised to maintain composure and avoid provocative behavior, the sources said. The closed-door meeting came weeks after a purported audio clip surfaced in which Mondal was allegedly heard using abusive language during a phone call with a police inspector. The Birbhum district police have since registered an FIR against Mondal. After the meeting, neither Mondal nor Sheikh made any public comments. Senior leaders such as Bakshi and Hakim also chose not to brief the media. However, a senior TMC leader claimed, 'Whenever Anubrata and Kajal speak publicly, controversy follows. The party likely told them to stay silent at least until the Assembly elections to avoid further issues.' Meanwhile, in the larger July 21 planning session, TMC's state leadership instructed all district presidents and chairpersons to immediately begin mass outreach campaigns across blocks, panchayats, and municipalities. Bakshi reportedly urged local leaders to ensure a record-breaking turnout and also asked them to highlight what he described as the BJP-led central government's 'discriminatory policies' against Bengal and push back against the party's 'communal agenda' through grassroots campaigns.
