The AAP leader said that Bikramjit Singh Saini from Khadoor village in Ludhiana district was a popular leader of ambulance personnel. On the occasion, Jathedar Harjit Singh said that the Akali Dal was now pursuing anti-Punjab and genocidal policies; due to which he decided to leave the Akali Dal and join the Aam Aadmi Party.
