Former Cabinet Minister Surjit Singh Rakhra has joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) after leaving Shiromani Akali Dal Punar Surjit. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann welcomed him into the party fold in Rakhra village. Following this move, SAD spokesperson Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema criticized Rakhra, claiming that he has aligned himself with those challenging Sri Akal Takht Sahib. Earlier, Giani Harpreet Singh had suspended Rakhra from his previous party for anti-party activities and promoting rival groups. CM Mann utilized the occasion to highlight his government's achievements, including the anti-sacrilege law and large-scale recruitment. https://www.etvbharat.com/pa/politics/shiromani-akali-dal-takes-direct-aim-at-former-minister-surjit-singh-rakhra-joining-aap-pbs26051606359 #Creator program
