Bhucho Mandi (Bathinda), May 07, 2019: The spate of the AAP workers joining the Shromani Akali Dal(SAD) remains unabated and is likely to continue in the days to come especially in Malwa belt.
Today, a dozen of senior AAP workers joined the SAD in presence of Bikram Majithia, secretary general SAd and former minister in a simple but impressive short ceremony. Majithia welcomed these middle rung leaders and assured that the party would take care of their concerns.
Those who joined the SAD include ex –sarpanch Harkaran Singh, nambarar Darshan Singh and Simarjit Singh Thekedar.
Interestingly, the support base of the AAP is fast slipping from its hand and strengthening the SAD against whom these workers had slogged and toiled during the last assembly elections.
The refrain of the AAP workers, shifting their loyalties, is that everyone is getting disenchanted and alienated from the party, which has distanced itself from its professed goals.
Interestingly, one of the senior workers pointed that while couple of legislators has shifted to Congress sans their support base while the dedicated AAP workers are joining the SAD in streams.
