Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has always given top priority to his Sangat Darshan programmes, terming it the best way to redress public grievances. But in the wake of the ongoing crisis in the state, not a single such programme was held in the last three months.
The last Sangat Darshan was held in Lambi on August 18 and 19. Badal has now said after the SAD’s first “Sadbhawna” rally in Bathinda on November 23, he would resume his public meetings.
Sources say he is most likely to begin with his home turf Lambi, an area considered safe for Akalis than any other part of the state. At many places, SAD leaders have already faced the wrath of Sikh activists.
A source in the Chief Minister’s office said the sangat darshan programme would be finalised in two days.
Ever since the crisis hit the state, Badal has not even visited his native village, Badal, or his Lambi Assembly segment.
