  • India

In a significant political development, Arvind Khanna, Punjab BJP's vice president and former Congress MLA, joined the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in Sangrur, marking his return to his political roots.

The move was facilitated by SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal, who welcomed Khanna back into the fold with open arms, appointing him in charge of the Sangrur Assembly constituency.

Khanna's return to SAD comes after an unsuccessful stint with the BJP, during which he ran for both assembly and parliamentary seats in Sangrur. His rejoining SAD marks a 'homecoming,' as Khanna expressed admiration for the party's past progress under Akali leadership.
