With a com­bined 18 votes of the Shi­ro­mani Akali Dal, Jago Party and Pan­thik Lehar, the Shi­ro­mani Akali Dal Delhi chief Paramjit Singh Sarna, who did not con­test elec­tions, has been co-opted as a DS­GMC mem­ber, which has been con­firmed by the Delhi High Court, plac­ing him in di­rect line of op­po­si­tion with who­ever be­comes the DS­GMC Pres­i­dent by the end of Sep­tem­ber. WSN Delhi Desk’s Gurmeet Singh re­ports.

Though the co-op­tion process was com­pleted on 9 Sep­tem­ber, there was a stale­mate with re­spect to the sec­ond vic­tor from the Badal Dal as two of their can­di­dates -Vikram Singh Ro­hini and Jaswinder Singh Jolly did not get the req­ui­site num­ber of votes. As the vote of Bhupin­der Singh Bhullar, who had won with only 6 votes, wait­ing for a re­count, he was not al­lowed to vote and the process was halted.

The mat­ter went to court and Jus­tice San­jeev Sachdeva of the Delhi High Court has cleared the elec­tion of Paramjit Singh Sarna and de­clared him co-opted on 10 Sep­tem­ber 2021 whereas, for the sec­ond per­son, the court has or­dered count­ing of sec­ond pref­er­ence votes.
