Badal Dares Badal

    Manpreet Singh Badal, former finance Minister of Punjab, due to Giderwaha assembly seat which he fought on the ticket of Sharomani Akali Dal (SAD); but now everything has been changed as Manpreet Singh Badal not only resigned few months back as finance minister of Punjab state but also quit from Sharomani Akali Dal party due to differences with other leaders of party along with it he have form new party by name Peoples Party of Punjab (PPP). There is saying in political arena that no body is permanent friend or foe, as scenario keeps on changing depending upon circumstances, alliance constitute or break. Manpreet Singh Badal, President of PPP is extensively touring Punjab state from past few months, succeed in creating very huge public supports for his party, considering this now political experts believes that Manpreet Badal has emerges as third dimension in Punjab politics and going to play very major role in the coming state assembly elections which are less then six months away.
    Just recently President of Peoples Party of Punjab Mr. Manpreet Singh Badal has announced that his father (Gurdass Singh Badal) who is brother of Chief Minster of Punjab (Parkash Singh Badal) will be candidate of PPP from Lambhi assembly seat and it is worth mentioning here that Sardar Parkash Singh Badal has won Lambhi seat continuously for three times, but his victory margin with every elections keep on shrinking –

• 1997- Parkash Singh Badal won Lambhi seat by defeating his nearest rival by twenty two thousand votes.
• 2002 – Parkash Singh Badal declared victorious by the vote margin of twenty thousand votes.
• 2007 – Parkash Singh Badal won the seat by the difference of eight thousand votes.

with announcement of Manpreet Singh Badal it is not only dares Chief Minster of Punjab but also challenge to Shiromani Akali Dal. As per unconfirmed reports that this time Deputy Chief Minster of Punjab and son of Mr. Parkash Singh Badal is not going to contest election from any seat but has plan to do canvassing throughout state for his party candidates. On other hand Manpreet Singh Badal elected four times as M.L.A. from Giderwaha seat, he and his father has very good support in Lambhi constituency. Declaration of Gurdass Singh Badal as candidate from Lambhi is considered by political analysis as challenge to both Shiromani Akali Dal & its president Parkash Singh Badal , so for him selecting his seat in the coming elections would be very cautious move as if he contest from other seat then it will generate wrong signals among public and his party but if he still opt to fight election from Lambhi seat then this time he may not get desirous result. Speculations are in the air that perhaps Parkash Singh Badal will contest elections from two assembly seats.
     Manpreet Singh Badal has put his former party and its leaders in state of dilemma, so in the coming Punjab state assembly elections at the time of announcement of candidates by SAD it will be interesting to see how it has taken challenge of Manpreet Singh Badal?
