Chandigarh, June 9, 2025 – Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal expressed his happiness as two-time MLA Anil Joshi rejoined the party today. Anil Joshi has also actively joined the Akali Dal’s campaign for the crucial Ludhiana West Assembly by-election.
Sukhbir Badal said, “I am glad to welcome back my younger brother Anil Joshi to the Shiromani Akali Dal. With his support in the campaign, together we will make a significant difference for Punjab and its people.”
Anil Joshi had resigned from the primary membership of the Shiromani Akali Dal in November 2024 amid internal party turmoil, following complaints filed by rebel leaders to the Akal Takht against Sukhbir Badal’s leadership. His return is viewed as a major boost for the party ahead of the upcoming elections.
Party insiders believe Joshi’s comeback will strengthen the Akali Dal’s position in Ludhiana West and help consolidate support among the electorate.
