Tarn Taran: In a big blow to the Shiromani Akali Dal, Tarn Taran district unit of the ruling alliance partner BJP has asked its workers not to support to the SAD candidate in Khadoor Sahib by-election. BJP district president Navreet Singh Safipur said in a statement that during his two-day election tour of the area, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal did not seek BJP's support for his party's candidate. This hurt the BJP activists and instructions were issued not to support the SAD candidate. He said the SAD had never lost any opportunity to run down its alliance partner BJP. The national party had now decided to not only oppose the candidate, but also support any of the better candidates in the constituency.
