The Shiromani Akali Dal has decided to field Mahesh Inder Singh Grewal as its candidate from Ludhiana parliamentary seat for the May 19 Lok Sabha elections.
The party was earlier zeroing in on its district president Ranjit Singh Dhillon. However, because of threat of rebellion, it today nominated Grewal as the candidate from Ludhiana.
Harcharan Bains, advisor to SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal, said the names of the remaining candidates would be announced shortly.
Grewal, a senior and traditional Akali stalwart with a strong Panthic image, enjoys a wide secular base.
With this, the SAD has announced eight of its 10 candidates from Punjab.
