Wealth seems to be evenly distributed among all the political majors in Punjab as the wealthiest candidate is from Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and there are three each from Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and Congress among the 10 richest candidates in the fray for February 20 assembly polls in the state.
The Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) President Sukhbir Badal has snubbed his brother-in-law (sister’s husband) Adesh Partap Singh Kairon by announcing candidature of former Akali MLA Virsa Singh Valtoha for 2022 Punjab assembly elections from Khemkaran segment.
The SAD President, who was addressing an impressive rally held at Amarkot village of Khemkaran, said the announcement was done after the people unanimously supported Valtoha’s candidature. His move is a major setback to Kairon who announced to field one of his family members from this constituency challenging the claim of Valtoha.
Thus, Sukhbir supported Valtoha in the battle between Valtoha and Kairon, who is also grandson of former Punjab Chief Minister Partap Singh Kairon.
