Sukhbir Badal open alliance with 'like-minded parties'

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal has signalled openness to an alliance with like-minded parties ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections. However, Badal has ruled out any tie-up with the Congress or the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), setting clear boundaries for the SAD's pre-poll strategy.
