‘Sukhbir Badal-PM Modi meeting was formal interaction’: Ashok Kumar Mittal

‘Sukhbir Badal-PM Modi meeting was formal interaction’: Ashok Kumar Mittal

BJP MP Ashok Kumar Mittal on Monday dismissed speculation over a possible alliance between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), saying that the meeting between SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal and Prime Minister Narendra Modi was a formal interaction. Speaking to ANI, Mittal said that the Prime Minister regularly interacts with leaders from different political parties, particularly in Punjab as it is a border state. “Any meeting between a leader and the Prime Minister is essentially a formal interaction. Since Punjab is a border state, the Prime Minister frequently consults leaders from various parties to gather their views and feedback on Punjab’s politics, security situation, and the drug problem. Therefore, there is no real basis for such speculation,” Mittal said. He acknowledged that the BJP and SAD have shared an alliance in the past, but said that the present political circumstances did not indicate an immediate possibility of the two parties coming together again. “They have been allies in the past and have formed a government together at least three times. …
