Raminder Awla, a former Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) representing the Congress party, has formally switched his political allegiance to the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). The induction ceremony took place in Chandigarh, where Awla was welcomed into the party by SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal. Also in attendance was senior SAD leader and party vice-president Parmbans Singh Bunty Romana.

This political move is being viewed as a significant development within Punjab’s regional political landscape. While the formal transition has been confirmed, the move has reportedly sparked internal discussions regarding party ticket allocations for upcoming electoral contests. The shift highlights ongoing realignments among political figures in the region as parties prepare for future legislative cycles. As of now, neither the Congress party nor Awla have provided extensive public statements regarding the specific motivations behind his departure from the Congress ranks.
