Ludhiana: Former Akali MLA Prem Mittal
today joined the Lok Insaf Party (LIP), saying he was being
ignored in the Akali Dal.
LIP is an ally of Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab.
Mittal said he was totally ignored by the Akali Dal when
he was MLA.
"None of my development proposals for the constituency
were accepted by the party high command. I was feeling
suffocated in the Akali Dal," he said.
Mittal was elected as the MLA from Mansa Vidhan Sabha
seat in the elections held in 2012.
Earlier, he was the senior deputy mayor (Congress) of
Ludhiana city.
