Akalis to contest 12 seats independently

CHANDIGARH: Shiromani Akali Dal-Badal on Saturday indicated that it would contest 12 seats independently in the Delhi assembly elections. This, however, came as a big upset for its ally, the BJP, and also exposed the rift between the two parties over seat sharing.

According to the decision, Akali Dal would now contest 12 seats where BJP is also fielding its candidates. The decision was taken after a two-day meeting of Delhi members of SAD-Badal which was chaired by party president Sukhbir Singh Badal.

When TOI asked the Delhi president of SAD-Badal, Manjit G K, about the development, he conceded that there had been a disagreement on seat sharing in the past few days. "We have started work on these 12 seats. Akali Dal, as a senior partner, gives their quota seats to BJP in Punjab. The BJP should also show the same magnanimity and grace. We have had a historical alliance with the BJP. We have been together in victory and defeat and our alliance would continue," he said.

The 12 seats, on which SAD is fielding its candidates are Greater Kailash, Moti Nagar, Tilak Nagar, Rajouri Garden, Hari Nagar, Timarpur, Adarsh Nagar, Kalkaji, Parparganj, Shadara, Shakur Basti and Vishvas Nagar.

The decision assumes significance as recently the party had routed Congress-backed Paramjit Sarna's faction in the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) polls in January, sweeping 37 out of 46 seats.
