Bathinda, January 13: Bholath MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira today opened his Punjabi Ekta Party’s first office in the city. Khaira said on the request of his supporters, he was contemplating to contest the Lok Sabha election from Bathinda. But a final decision would be taken after discussion within the party and alliance members, he said.
Talking to the media, Khaira said AAP MP Bhagwant Mann should publicly slam party convener Arvind Kejriwal for seeking apology from Akali leader Bikram Majithia.
Khaira claimed that they had formed an alliance comprising Punjab Manch of MP Dharamvira Gandhi, Lok Insaaf Party and Punjabi Ekta Party. He said he was hopeful that SAD (Taksali) would also join them.
