After welcoming the Congress leader Seth Satpal Mall into the party fold, Badal said the SAD has already conveyed to its probable candidates and the official announcement would also be made soon.
Replying to a question about the announcement of VAT rationalization in the manifesto of AAP which was launched yesterday, Badal said Kejriwal should "stop fooling people by releasing visionless manifestos".
"Everyone knows that GST is all set to replace the VAT across the nation from the next financial year but Kejriwal is talking about VAT, which shows his (lack of) common understanding about the issues pertaining to society," he said.
Satpal Mall, along with his many supporters, joined SAD in the presence of Badal at his residence in Buta Mandi in Jalandhar.
