"The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has lots of committed workers and a dedicated cadre so there is no need for people like Sucha Singh Chhotepur to be brought into the SAD fold," SAD President and Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal said while interacting with the media here.
Attacking AAP, he said that this party is "on the verge of getting finished" and only the "last rites" needed to be performed, looking at its present state of affairs.
Taking a jibe at Punjab Congress President Capt Amarinder Singh, Sukhbir said he didn't "care to show his face" to the people of Amritsar, despite being the elected representative from here.
He alleged that both AAP and Congress did not care either for the interests of Punjab or the rich cultural and religious traditions of the state.
