Muktsar : People’s Party of Punjab (PPP) chief Manpreet Singh Badal today said the Sanjha Morcha may repeat the seat-sharing formula with the Congress in the coming panchayat elections.
“The seat-adjustment formula adopted in a few districts in the recently held panchayat samiti and zila parishad poll proved successful and it can also be repeated in the panchayat elections, to be held on July 3,” said Manpreet, who was here to address party workers.
The PPP president claimed the Morcha will make its presence felt in a number of villages. He said the Sanjha Morcha will hold a meeting in Chandigarh tomorrow to decide the coalition’s strategy for the coming elections and other important issues.
On move to regularise illegal colonies, Manpreet said: “It may prove beneficial for Punjab. But at the same time, it will give huge profits to the land mafia, which enjoys the support of the ruling coalition.”
