Zira council ex-president joins AAP

Moga, March 14

The Aam Aadmi Party today got a shot in the arm with former Zira Nagar Council president Balwant Singh Dhillon joining the party in the presence of state president and MP Bhagwant Mann here.

Dhillon served as the council chief for 10 years, i.e. from 2003 to 2013. He is also a member of Sukhmani Sewa Society, an NGO, and Sewa Bharti Association, representing Zira, Makhu and Mallawala areas in Ferozepur district. His brother Gurcharan Singh served as the council vice-president in 1997, while another brother, Piara Singh, remained its chief from 2015 to 2017. The family enjoys clout in Zira town and its adjoining areas.

Mann said people today saw the AAP as the only credible alternative in the state.

Meanwhile, ETT Teachers’ Unions’ state unit president Jaswinder Singh Sidhu is also likely to join the party in the coming days. — TNS
