After his resignation from all party posts last year due to differences with SAD chief Sukhbir Badal, rebel party leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa today, for the first time, sought votes for the BJP and its alliance partners.
He said if the NDA again formed the government at the Centre, the Punjab and Punjabis would gain the most.
He said since the BJP had taken numerous steps for the welfare of Sikhs, both the BJP and its alliance partners deserved votes. “The BJP has ended blacklist of Sikhs, is opening Kartarpur corridor and has been taking all required steps to punish the perpetrator of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. It deserves votes and I appeal to all country residents to vote for the BJP and its alliance partners,” said Dhindsa, while talking to The Tribune over the phone.
