Babushahi Network Bureau
Amritsar/Chandigarh:
As the general session of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) takes place in Amritsar today to elect the President and other office-bearers, all eyes are on Giani Harpreet Singh, head of the reconstituted Akali Dal, to see whom he will nominate as the party’s candidate for the top post.
According to exclusive information shared by Babushahi Network, Mithu Singh Kahneke, an SGPC member who had joined this Akali Dal faction after rebelling against Sukhbir Badal, is likely to be nominated as the party’s candidate. He is expected to contest against Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami, the official nominee of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal). It is understood that Mithu Singh’s candidature will be formally announced during the General House meeting itself.
Mithu Singh Kahneke hails from Mansa district and is known for his association with leftist ideology. He has been actively involved in various movements since his student days and later played a key role in teachers’ unions.
Now, all eyes are on how Mithu Singh performs in the SGPC election if officially nominated by the Surjit Akali Dal, and how many votes he manages to secure against Advocate Dhami.
