Nearly two months after he resigned from the SAD, former Army chief General J.J. Singh on Wednesday joined the Shiromani Akali Dal (Taksali). He joined the recently floated outfit in the presence of SAD (Taksali) chief Ranjit Singh Brahmpura here.

General Singh, who also served as Governor of Arunachal Pradesh earlier, had joined the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) led by Sukhbir Singh Badal ahead of the 2017 Punjab Assembly polls.

He had unsuccessfully contested the Assembly polls against Congress’ Amarinder Singh from the latter’s stronghold, Patiala.
