First time in Akali history : No representation from Tohra group in new Akali-BJP Government
Ludhiana, March 11 (Gurpreet Singh Mandiani) With the changing political scenario in Punjab, it will be for the first time that there will be no representation of the Tohra group in new SAD+BJP Government in Punjab. During the last Akali Dal Government, there was one Cabinet Minister and one Chief Parliamentary Secretary. In 1997 Badal Govt., there were 6 ministers of Tohra group in the Cabinet. This time, the party allotted 5 assembly tickets to Tohra loyalists but unfortunately none of them could win. Going to the past, the Akali Dal witnessed several ups and downs. In 1997 when the Akali Govt. took reigns of the state under the leadership of Parkash Singh Badal, at that time, Senior leaders Surjit Singh Barnala and Jagdev Singh Talwandi were in the Akali Dal fold but there was no Minister aligned to them at that time. In fact Badal and Tohra were controlling the Akali Dal. During this period in 1998, the differences arose between Tohra and Badal and the 5 Ministers loyalists to Tohra including Manjit Singh Calcutta, Mahesh Inder Singh Grewal, Harmail Singh Tohra, Surjit Singh Kohli and Inderjit Singh Zira resigned and 6th Minister Nirmal Singh Kahlon changed his loyalty to Badal group and remained Minister. Besides this, 5 MLAs including Bikramjit Singh Khalsa, Hira Singh Gabria, Bibi Daljit Kaur Padiala, Jagtar Singh Rajla and Gurdev Singh Sidhu also left Badal and joined Tohra camp. Again in 2004, under the pressure of his loyalist Jathedar Tohra joined hands with Badal and since then the political graph of Jathedar Tohra started coming down. After few months, Jathedar Tohra died and three of his loyalists including Inderjit Singh Zira, Bibi Padiala’s son Rajbir Singh and Jagtar Singh Rajla joined Congress. The 4th leader in the line Manjit Singh Calcutta left Akali Dal and another Gurdev Singh Sidhu rejoined Badal’s fold after leaving Congress. This time the four Tohra loyalists, who were given tickets including Hira Singh Gabria, Bikramjit Singh Khalsa, Harmail Singh Tohra’s wife Kuldeep Kaur and Surjit Sihgh Kohli got tickets but faced defeat. Another loyalist of Tohra, Mahesh Inder Singh Grewal could not get the ticket. Besides this, once close to Tohra group Prem Singh Chandumjra also remained unlucky to enter Vidhan Sabha. All these developments in the Shiromani Akali Dal in the past few years marked an end to Tohra’s legacy in the Akali Dal. Linked to this, Ranjit Singh Talwandi S/o Jagdev Singh Talwandi another senior leader and his relative Jagdip Singh Cheema also faced defeat in these elections. In totality, it can be concluded that Badal has full control over the Akali Dal with not any leader challenging his authority in anyway in near future.
