SAD to start membership drive for organizational elections on January 20

SAD to start membership drive for organizational elections on January 20 (Dr Daljit S Cheema says party will also go to the people to expose how the CM and the State cabinet had abrogated their responsibility and shifted to Delhi)  Chandigarh, January 16 – After the massive success of its political conference at the Maghi Mela in Muktsar, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has decided to focus on conducting the targeted 25 lakh strong membership drive as part of its organizational elections.Disclosing this here, senior party leader Dr Daljit Singh Cheema said “all plans are being finalized to start the membership drive on January 20. These include printing copies for distribution to the party cadre as well as framing the rules and regulations for the drive as per constitutional norms”.Dr Cheema said “the party is committed to ensure a genuine membership drive is conducted and that the same is ratified by party Observers under the supervision of the chief election officer for the drive – former minister Gulzar Singh Ranike”. He said it had been decided to hold training sessions for the designated Observers so that the entire process could be conducted smoothly in a free and fair manner.Meanwhile the party has also decided to go to the people and expose the manner in which chief minister Bhagwant Mann and the State cabinet had abrogated its responsibility and shifted to Delhi. He said it was shocking that the entire cabinet led by the chief minister was camping in Delhi. “Not only the cabinet, even senior officers, have been called to Delhi to assist in the party’s election campaign. The State’s financial resources are also being spent on this campaign.Dr Cheema said even as the entire cabinet was in Delhi and was slated to remain there till February 5 when the election would take place, Punjab was witnessing a slew of grenade attacks, particularly in the border belt. “Agitating farmers have also been left to their own fate with chief minister Bhagwant Mann failing to take up their issues with the Prime Minister which had endangered the life of fasting farm leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal. Even as all this is happening the AAP government is helpless in protecting the rights of the State, particularly the manner in which the State’s right over its capital Chandigarh is being diluted”. The SAD leader demanded a special session of the Vidhan Sabha be held to discuss all these issues as well as the Draft Framework on Agricultural Marketing by way of which the centre wanted to reintroduce the three hated farm laws through the back gate.
