Prof Prem Singh Chandumajra returns to Shiromani Akali Dal

Former MP Professor Prem Singh Chandumajra has once again become a part of the Shiromani Akali Dal. Apart from this, his son and former MLA Harinderpal Singh along with a large number of supporters are also returning to their original party.

Party President Sukhbir Singh Badal is scheduled to visit Chandumajra's residence in Patiala to formally induct him into the organization. Shiromani Akali Dal Secretary General Balwinder Singh Bhunder confirmed this move, saying that the party welcomes this decision.

Professor Chandumajra stated that given the current situation in the state, it has become imperative for all Akali leaders to unite. Talking about an alliance with the BJP, he clarified that the possibility of an alliance with the BJP in the coming days cannot be ruled out.

Mentioning the elections, Professor Chandumajra said that there are no signs of any single party getting a full majority in the upcoming 2027 assembly elections. He clarified that he will not contest the elections himself, but his son Harinderpal Singh will enter the fray from the Sanour constituency.

Notably, Professor Chandumajra had resigned from the Shiromani Akali Dal (Sanyukt) faction led by Giani Harpreet Singh, citing differences in ideology and working style. The very next day, Harinderpal Singh also gathered local workers and office-bearers of the Sanour region and said goodbye to that faction.
