There has been a big change in the politics of Punjab. Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa has returned to Sukhbir Singh Badal's party Shiromani Akali Dal Badal.

Dhindsa broke ties with Akali Dal 6 years ago and formed a separate party Shiromani Akali Dal United. On this occasion, Sukhbir Singh Badal also commented on the budget presented by the Bhagwant Mann government.

While commenting, he said that when the votes were received, he said that he will give a thousand rupees to women every month, but today the second budget has been completed, but there is no name for it. It is not mentioned anywhere that we will restore the old pension of the employee.

Along with this, there is news that once again Shiromani Akali Dal is going to join the alliance with BJP. Both parties are seeing the end of the Kisan movement.
