4-time Talwandi Sabo MLA Jeet Mohinder Singh Sidhu resigns from Shiromani Akali Dal
Four-time Talwandi Sabo MLA Jeet Mohinder Singh Sidhu has resigned from the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). Sidhu, said that he was resigning from the SAD due to “ideological differences”.
Sidhu’s resignation is a major blow to the SAD, which is already facing a number of challenges. The party was defeated by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the 2022 Punjab Assembly elections, and has since been plagued by internal divisions.
Sidhu’s resignation is also a significant development in the context of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Sidhu is seen as a potential candidate for the Congress party in the Talwandi Sabo constituency. If he joins the Congress, it could boost the party’s chances of winning the seat.
The SAD has said that it regrets Sidhu’s resignation and that it has tried to persuade him to stay. However, Sidhu has made it clear that he is determined to leave the party.
Sidhu’s resignation could have a number of implications for the SAD and the Congress party.
For the SAD, Sidhu’s resignation is a further setback for the party. The SAD is already facing a number of challenges, and Sidhu’s resignation could further weaken the party.
For the Congress party, Sidhu’s resignation could be a boon. Sidhu is a popular leader in the Talwandi Sabo constituency, and his joining the Congress could boost the party’s chances of winning the seat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Sidhu’s resignation could also have an impact on the Punjab political landscape. Sidhu is a well-known and respected figure in Punjab politics. His resignation could lead to a realignment of political forces in the state.
It is not yet clear what Sidhu’s next steps will be. However, it is likely that he will join the Congress party. The Congress party has already welcomed Sidhu’s resignation from the SAD, and it is likely that the party will offer him a ticket for the Talwandi Sabo constituency in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Sidhu could also decide to start his own political party. However, this is less likely, as it would be difficult for Sidhu to build a new political party from scratch.
