Punjab is gearing up for its next assembly election and the political turn of events has already been started. An ex-serviceman, Capt Chanan Singh Sidhu and a retired Punjab Cadre IAS officer, Mr. SR Ladhar has jointly floated their own political outfit named as ‘the Kiri Kisan Sher-E-Punjab Party’ months before the election. According to both of them their new party is to “take on traditional parties in the state that had failed the people.”
Sidhu who was an aide of former MP Simranjit Singh Mann, is the president of the party, Ladhar is the senior vice president and the party will contest on all the 117 assembly seats.
In an interaction with media Mr. Sindhu named AAP as the RSS agent. He also targeted the Sanyukt Akali Dal president, Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, saying he kept quiet when Sacha Sauda Dera head Gurmit Ram Rahim was pardoned and even after the sacrilege incident.
Similarly Mr. Ladhar also attacked BJP, SAD and BSP. He said, “I have been an IAS officer for 30 years. We do not want to enjoy political power. But we have been witnessing how Dalits, Ravidassias, Mazhbi Sikhs, and SCs have been treated by the successive governments in the state .Give us a chance, and we will deliver,” He also branded the traditional parties as leeches who suck the bloods of common man.
