SAD says Congress secured win in municipal elections by resorting to State-sponsored repression
Punjab Municipal Election 2021 Result: The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Wednesday said that the Congress party had secured a win in the MC election in Punjab by resorting to State-sponsored repression. Also, SAD lauded Akali workers for asserting themselves boldly and ensuring the SAD emerged as the main opposition to the corrupt and incompetent Congress party.
SAD spokesperson Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema said even as the Shiromani Akali Dal had emerged as the principal opposition party in Punjab post municipal elections despite going alone for the first time, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had been completely eradicated in the State.

Speaking about the result of the MC election Punjab, the SAD Spokesman said “it seems the civil machinery and the Punjab Police has won the day for the Congress along with equal help from the State Election Commission(SEC)."
“More than 500 nomination papers of SAD candidates alone were rejected along with a couple of hundred other parties in an attempt to make the entire election process a nomination process. This alone calls for sacking of the SEC,” he added.
He said the Congress party had seen the writing on the wall much before the polls and unleashed a systematic campaign of terror, intimidation, violence, and murder.
