I will continue to serve my people till my last breath: Former CM Parkash Singh Badal

Badal (Muktsar), February 20

“I will continue to serve my people till my last breath,” former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal said after casting his vote along with his family members at a polling booth here on Sunday.

Badal was accompanied by his son and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal, daughter-in-law and Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal, and his granddaughter Harkirat Badal.

“This time a number of turncoats are in the fray in the Assembly elections. We broke alliance with the BJP over principles. The SAD is the lone party which has carried out development in the state. We have also worked for communal harmony and brotherhood in the state,” the former CM said.

“People have faith in the SAD-BSP alliance which will make a clean sweep by getting more than 80 seats,” Sukhbir Singh Badal said after casting his vote.

Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal said, “As Punjab is a border state, it needs a stable government, which the AAP and the Congress can’t give. The AAP has failed to keep its MLAs and MPs together. On the other hand, CM Charanjit Singh Channi is fighting for his own chair for the past few months. We are sure of forming the government.”
