It is people's victory, says Badal

Malout, Muktsar, Feb 27 (UNI) Shromani Akali Dal Supremo Parkash Singh Badal today termed the victory of SAD-BJP combine in the Punjab Assembly elections as the victory of the people.

The victory was a verdict against the Amarinder Singh Government's ''anti-people'' policies, he said.

Considering his party's poor performance ever in its stronghold Malwa region, Mr Badal expressed resentment against the Dera Sach Sauda political committee for declaring their support to the Congress. He said it was wrong that a religious organisation indulged in political activities.

Mr Badal said a meeting of party MLAs had been called at Chandigarh tomorrow to decide the party leader.
