Shiromani Akali Dal is battling with the charges of anti-incumbency, localisation of businesses and drugs taint on the senior leaders of the party. Also their inability to bring to book who are responsible for sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib. In 2015, Shiromani Akali Dal had almost been wiped out from Punjab.
Now the party is back with the Parkash Singh Badal who is the psychological and emotional face of the Shiromani Akali Dal and Sukhbir Singh Badal who is the chief strategist using all the ways to bounce back in upcoming assembly elections.
So the aura which is created around Sukhbir seems to have played its role in helping the party. This time the Akali leadership would tried hard to take all its important leaders along.Can the party will come up with an incredible performance? Only the results will tell this.
