Shiromani Akali Dal: The Future Of Punjab’s Grand Old Party Under The Badals
Merely a few weeks ahead of their centenary celebrations in December 2020, the Parkash Singh Badal-led Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) walked out of the National Democratic Alliance, that is the Bharatiya Janata Party-led coalition government in the centre. The face of the SAD in the centre, Harsimrat Kaur Badal, the then Cabinet Minister of Food Processing Industries, led the walkout, contradicting her own stand on the three progressive farm laws.
A year later, the repeal of the three farm laws, ahead of the Assembly Elections in Punjab, was not enough to get back the SAD into the NDA fold, but by then, they had been conveniently replaced by Captain Amarinder Singh, another Punjabi leader who had failed to read the writing on the wall.
In their history of over a hundred years, the Akalis have been politically indispensable to the state of Punjab. For a party that has its origins even before Mahatma Gandhi emerged as one of the most visible leaders in India’s freedom struggle, the roles have been varying. In its inception, it was a task force of the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee or the SGPC as it is commonly known, and thus a representative of the Sikh community in an undivided British India.
