Prof. Chandumajra set to rejoin Akali Dal as Sukhbir Badal visits his home
Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal will visit Professor Prem Singh Chandumajra's residence in Patiala on the afternoon of November 6 to induct him back into the party along with his family and supporters.
Former MP Professor Prem Singh Chandumajra's return to the Shiromani Akali Dal has been finalized. Party president Sukhbir Singh Badal will reach Chandumajra's Patiala residence on November 6 afternoon to formally induct him into the Akali Dal. Along with him, his son and former MLA Harinderpal Singh Chandumajra and a large number of supporters will also rejoin.
Shiromani Akali Dal general secretary Balwinder Singh Bhunder confirmed this, stating that Professor Chandumajra is joining the party on November 6. Welcoming this move, he invited other Panthic leaders who had earlier left the party to return to their parent organization.
Earlier, Professor Chandumajra's son Harinderpal Singh Chandumajra had announced parting ways with Akali Dal Punar Surjit during a press conference at Gurdwara Dukh Nivaran Sahib in Patiala. Along with him, party office-bearers belonging to the Sanour constituency, ten circle presidents, and hundreds of delegates also separated.
Harinderpal Singh Chandumajra said that instead of fighting on the ground against the Punjab government, the Punar Surjit faction had been restricted only to social media and statements. He clarified that the decision to leave the rebel faction was taken only after holding meetings with workers.
Professor Prem Singh Chandumajra said that the friction and differences created among Akali factions are affecting the interests of the Panth and Punjab, and opposition forces are taking advantage of it. He stated that keeping the upcoming 2027 assembly elections in view, it is the primary need of the hour for all Panthic forces to unite on a single common platform.
Regarding the stance on Giani Harpreet Singh's appeal for Panthic unity, Chandumajra said that a major difference had emerged in the thinking and working style of the two sides, due to which they separated their path from the Punar Surjit faction.
