Bathinda: Even though the Shiromani Akali Dal and BJP claimed that they had buried the hatchet and decided to contest the municipal corporation elections together, a joint press conference called by the alliance partners nailed their differences as senior BJP leaders stayed away from the event.
The BJP district unit leaders attended the district core committee meeting and only district unit media in-charge attended the press conference with SAD's Bathinda MLA and chief parliamentary secretary Sarup Chand Singla.
