SAD open to alliance with any party except Congress, AAP, says Badal

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Sukhbir Singh Badal announced that the party is prepared to form an alliance with any political party, provided it is not the Indian National Congress or the Aam Aadmi Party.\nThe statement was made in a recent interview with The Times of India, where Badal emphasized SAD's openness to explore partnership options ahead of the forthcoming electoral contests.\nBy ruling out Congress and AAP, the party seeks to narrow its potential coalition partners while keeping its strategic flexibility intact.\nPolitical analysts note that SAD's stance could reshape alliance dynamics in Punjab, where coalition formations have historically influenced government formation.
