Sukhbir Badal CM face of SAD-BSP alliance in Punjab: Mayawati
Nawanshahr: Ahead of Punjab Assembly elections 2022, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Tuesday officially announced Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal as the CM candidate of the SAD-BSP alliance in the state.
While addressing a mega rally in Nawanshahr, Mayawati said that Sukhbir Singh Badal is the CM face for the SAD-BSP alliance in Punjab. He (Sukhbir Singh Badal) will surely give respect to the weaker section of society, she said.

Mayawati said, "It came to my knowledge that Charanjit Singh Channi has been named CM face in Punjab by the Congress party. The truth is that the Congress has announced Dalit face as CM just to get votes."
"I don't think the Congress will come to the power. And if by any chance, Congress voted to power, then I am sure that Channi will be sidelined from the position of Chief Minister," he said.
"It also came to knowledge that despite having Dalit CM in Punjab no policies for the weaker section of society have been implemented in the state," the BSP chief added.
She further said that the anti-farmer policies of the Central government will not be implemented in the state once the SAD-BSP alliance comes into power.
Meanwhile, Sukhbir Singh Badal said that actions were taken over issues like hooliganism, mafia, and gangsters in Uttar Pradesh by Mayawati. She (Mayawati) ensured justice to Dalits in Uttar Pradesh and she will do the same in Punjab, the SAD president said.
Governments led by Parkash Singh Badal have always respected all religions, Badal added.
Punjab Assembly elections 2022 are scheduled to be held on February 20 while the results will be declared on March 10.
