The SAD President welcomed Mohinder Rinwa into the party fold and assured him that he and his supporters would get due honour and recognition.
He also announced Rinwa’s appointment as General Secretary of the party on the occasion. He also disclosed that Mr Rinwa would be given further responsibilities in due course adding that earlier senior Congressman and former minister Hansraj Josan had also joined the SAD leaving only Sunil Jakhar as the only remaining Congress leader in the district.
Badal said this was also due to the vendetta-driven politics of Jakhar who had let loose a reign of repression in Abohar and even discriminating against neighbouring constituencies simply because he had been faced defeat in the last assembly elections.
He gave the instance of how 16 cases had been registered against one family alone even as he challenged Jakhar to contest from Abohar again to test his true popularity.
