Under the leadership of Kewal Singh Dhillon, Akali leaders joined the Congress on Saturday.

“Najam Singh (district senior vice president), Harbans Singh Khalsa (circle president) and Gurjeet Singh (sarpanch, Dhanola Khurd) joined the Congress.

“More than 80 Ramgarhia families have also joined the Congress, along with these leaders,” said Dhillon.

He added that he was totally committed towards the development in the region and would continue to work tirelessly for the people.

“Under the leadership of Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, our party is dedicated and committed towards development of the state. The Congress will emerge winner in the parliamentary elections,” said Dhillon.
