]]> Jalandhar: After quitting Congress, former Jalandhar Cantonment MLA Jagbir Brar has again joined Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) here on Monday.
The SAD president visited the former Punjab Water Resources Management and Development Corporation Chairman’s house in the Model Town locality.
Brar won the seat of Jalandhar Cantt Assembly Constituency in 2007 as SAD MLA. He wass also the former President of DCC Jalandhar. Brar had served as a Block development panchayat officer before joining politics. Brar was appointed as Chairman of Punjab Water Resources Management and Development Corporation in 2019 by the Punjab Government.
He joined the People’s Party of Punjab in 2011 and quit the party in 2012 after losing elections to Pargat Singh, who was then the SAD candidate. He was coerced to move to unsuccessfully contest the Nakodar seat after Pargat Singh got the Congress on ticket Jalandhar Cantt seat.
Brar was expectant of returning to Cantt seat again after Pargat’s recent outbursts against Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, however, things didn’t turn out the way he had hoped and hence he chose to rejoin the Akali Dal to contest from the Cantonment seat, said a close aide of Brar.
Meanwhile, the re-joining of Brar in SAD has also upset former MLA and senior Akali Dal Sarabjeet Singh Makkar, who had contested from the seat in 2017.
