BATHINDA: Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) member Baldev Singh Chungha, who had stated that chief minister Bhagwant Mann did not seem drunk when he paid obeisance at Takht Damdama Sahib on Baisakhi, has been expelled from Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD).
The party has taken action against Chungha for indulging in anti-party activities and speaking against party president Sukhbir Singh Badal, but sources said the party was angry with Chungha defending the CM, as SAD wanted to take on Mann over supposedly being drunk on Baisakhi.
Chungha is SGPC member from Bhadaur and last year had remained member of SGPC executive committee.
