Overview

  • The new leadership slate names Balwinder Singh Bhunder as secretary general, Daljit Singh Cheema as secretary and N.K. Sharma as cashier.
  • Sarabjit Singh Jhijhar was chosen to lead the Youth Akali Dal, Hargobind Kaur heads the Istri Wing and Ranbir Singh Rana Dhillon takes charge of the Students Organisation of India.
  • The 31-member core committee reconstitution brings back veteran leaders while isolating close allies of Bikram Singh Majithia, who remains a member but wields little influence.
  • Established figures such as Harjinder Singh Dhami and Harsimrat Kaur Badal were reinstated to central roles, signalling reliance on the party’s old guard.
  • In a parallel development, the Akal Takht’s Recruitment Committee met with Akali Dal Waris Punjab Deadvance SikhSikh panthic unity efforts.
