Last month Shiromani Akali Dal president suddenly announced to launch a state wide protest on July 7, 2020 against the fuel price hiked by central government and state government  and discrepancies against the distribution of ration, in Punjab.

“The actual motive behind the state wide protest by SAD (Badal) is to stop and check the   exodus of its party workers in to  the rebel Akali leader Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa group. SAD (Badal) has already expelled Dhindsa and his son Parminder Singh Dhindsa for anti party activities. Since then Dhindsa is actively approaching akali leaders, who were not happy in the leadership of Sukhbir Singh Badal and has already planned to make a big announcement on July,7,2020. So Sukhbir Singh Badal played this protest gimmick on July,7,2020 and asked his party cadre to hold protest, ward wise and in this way they will get the idea about its party workers, leaders intention” said a political analyst.

As per sources, as per his announcement, Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa today floating his party under the name of Shiromani Akali Dal (Democratic) to “mainly oppose” the SAD and the Badal family. Yesterday Dhindsa said in Patiala that “our doors are open to all like-minded leaders who want to free the SGPC from the clutches of the Badals,” .
