Congress leaders made Singh a scapegoat to save the party from allegations of non-fulfilment of promises, the MLA said.

Dhindsa further alleged that the people of Punjab are well aware of wrongdoings of the Congress and they would not be tricked.

The Shiromani Akali Dal left its principles and had become a party of the Badals only, he said, terming the party’s alliance with BSP as "opportunist".

He said the SAD (Sanyukat) will contest the upcoming Assembly polls on all seats.

Halqa incharges for all the constituencies will be announced soon, he added.
