Canada Uber Driver Tells Passenger He Would Have ‘Kidnapped Her If It Was Pakistan’
Chandigarh, Former BJP leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, Olympian and Akali MLA Pargat Singh and independent legislators from Ludhiana, Balwinder Singh Bains and Simarjit Singh Bains, have announced a fourth political front to contest Punjab Assembly elections of 2017.
The leaders announced the new front — named the Awaz-e-Punjab — online on Friday and later confirmed the development. The new front said it would fight the Shiromani Akali Dal-BJP alliance, the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party against the traditional politics of “deceit, corruption and moral turpitude”.
AAP’s beleaguered former convener Sucha Singh Chottepur is also believed to have extended his support to the new political front.
The leaders — all known for their outbursts against traditional politics in the state — have reportedly held several meetings over the past week.
The recently formed Swaraj Party had previously reportedly floated the idea of a fourth front and giving a new dimension to the state’s politics.
