31. WHY DID I LEAVE THE AKALI DAL?

Even in childhood, I was the convener of the Patiala division Kisan Wing of the Punjab Congress. Sardar Hans Raj Sharma was the General Secretary of the Congress. At that time he had a great influence on the Congress. We wanted to hold a farmers 'rally in Bathinda on some farmers' issues. I met Hans Raj Sharma with deputation of some special men. Sharma ji refused financial help at all and explained that you could not understand the intention of the farmers. To get vote of the Kisan i.e. Jatt, you should give up hope of resolving their issues. There is factionalism among them for their Chaudhar. Fighting is common. You increase factionalism. Join the big group.

I shared this idea of ​​Sharma with many senior Congress leaders. Almost everyone agreed with this idea. I handed over my resignation from Kisan Wing to Mr. Gurdev Singh Ji, Pradhan Sahib. Thanking him, said that I am unable to follow this principle.

I had decided to contest from Rampura Phool as an independent candidate. Sant Fateh Singh Ji's born in Vidyalaya village falls in this constituency. In this constituency, the Akali Dal candidate had lost security several times to the Communist candidate Master Babu Singh, close relative of Giani Zail Singh Ji.

In the childhood, I was influenced by communist ideology. So I did a thorough study of Communism and Socialism. But when I had the opportunity to see this ideology, put into the practice in Russia, I did not see any difference between the imperial dictatorship and the communist dictatorship. I wanted to stop the growing influence of communists in my constituency. I had decided to contest from Rampura Phool as an independent candidate only for the purpose of defeating communist. People thought I was right. Out of 50,000 votes, in a three-cornered battle, I won with 6,500 votes.

After my victory, Giani Zail Singh Ji refused to include me in the Congress. Because I fought the election against the Congress. Although I had a special attachment with Giani ji. If Giani ji's political responsibility is put aside, and his personal personality is measured, then he was a god-like human being.

I left the Congress and joined the Akali Dal. I was happy because the Akali Dal was considered a party of farmers. But in reality at that time the Akali Dal was not fighting for the interests of the peasants but was fighting for power. The use of money and liquor was used as a weapon to sideline Sant Fateh Singh Ji, who had enabled the Akali Dal to rule. Under the pretext of party meetings, the loyalty of Panthic MLAs was being changed, by the greed of drink, meat and money.

Almost all the MLAs seemed ready to take this greed. However, the effect of this campaign on Surjeet Singh Barnala, Jasdev Singh Sandhu and Satnam Singh Bajwa was not felt. All three attended meetings but did not drink and eat. One day Sandhu Sahib told me "Jalal this food will be painful for us". When I asked him to explain, he said, "To eat this food, you have to kill your conscience and give up Panthic aspirations." Sandhu Sahib confirmed my suppressed idea. I started started to be absent at dinners. Before that I was considered a good speaker and I was selected many times by the legislature to speak on specific matters. After this, in a BJP conference in Delhi, Sardar Balwinder Singh Bhunder was elected to speak, instead of me.

In the coming elections, I was given the Akali ticket for being a sitting MLA. But the Badal group vehemently opposed me and supported the Communist candidate. In the election, the Badal group held election rallies against me in my constituency, as a means of defeating me and also used various other tactics. The communist candidate was considered a Panthic candidate and I was declared a traitor to the liquor group. Despite this, I won by almost 2000 votes. The workers began to celebrate the victory. An unexpected announcement of a sudden postal vote count was made. A large box filled with alleged postal votes was brought to the counting table. These votes were not in envelopes, they were stamped on local ballot papers. The countdown has begun. The ninth vote went to Karam Singh Master, who himself was a polling agent. The whole fraud was exposed. There was a lot of noise. Police picked up the alleged wallet and took it inside. The Returning Officer declared the Communist candidate, as the winner by 2000 votes.

With the election results, the Akali government came into being. The government could have investigated the incident. The Judicial Commission could also investigate. But I did not get any support from the government and the party. I filed an Election petition. My lawyer demanded some documents, which were to be provided by the Badal government and the party president. These were not provided. One and a half year later, the Akali government fell. Although relief was later obtained from the High Court, it was in vain. I felt that Badal Sahib had no place for any honest or competent man. There are many incidents which prove that I did a lot for Mr. Badal and Badal Akali Dal. Needless to say. But here I must mention a very honest politician, S Surjeet Singh Barnala to compare with S Badal.

In 1977, a coalition government was formed at the Center. Mr. Surjit Singh Barnala became the Minister of Agriculture. The department of Barnala Sahib had 7 secretaries, ie 7 departments. Hon’ble Murarji Desai was the Prime Minister. Which were considered strict and of their own nature. He directed Barnala Sahib to appoint competent personalities in various institutions. You have to make so many appointments. If did wrong, I will dismiss. Shri Desai directed to send files to him before sending these to PMO. Barnala Sahib may have felt distressed. He may have been impressed by my high English and dedication to the subject. S Barnala deputed me to carry files to PM house.

Without any request from me, considering my contribution to the Akali Dal and my qualifications, I was granted membership of the Indian Agricultural Prices Commission and the directorship of Indian Agricultural Research Institute Pusa, the governing body of 64 agricultural universities in India at that time, by Hon’ble PM himself. There was no question of any political corruption relating to S. Barnala. He did not ask anyone for a single penny of party fund.

It was here, that I actually got a chance to explore India's economy. A comparative study of the Indian economy with the developed world. It made me to realize the need for much-needed projects for India. Many projects were prepared. These projects could have been a boon for the Punjab, but the all fell prey to the looters imperialists.

All I want to say about myself, that I am not a man of greedy nature. If I was greedy for money or power, I would not quit politics just because Badal Sahib said "Jalal Sahib I forgave you".

The above incidents related to Badal Sahib, though was a routine word for Badal Sahib. But I understood the meaning, Badal Sahib's innermost feelings, and decided to take it in full depth. The incidents were very minor. Badal Sahib was the Chief Minister of Punjab. The Akali Legislative Party was holding a meeting. The agenda was to raise money for the Akali Conferences and to raise as much as possible. Most suggestions were sought. In my turn, I was of the opinion that buses and trucks cost a lot of money to transport people. Because sometimes truck operators' unions, or transport companies, don't provide diesel. Apart from this, sangat has to be gathered from each village to fill several buses. These resources also come at a high cost.

But apart from that Rs 20,000 has to be given, each MLA or former MLA as conference fund. While all conferences are held in Gurdwaras. Where stage, speaker, rugs, langar etc. are arranged by Gurdwara Sahib. My request is that if this 20,000 is forgiven then double truck buses full of sangat can be brought. Badal Sahib got some serious. After some thought he said "Jalal Sahib I forgave you".

Although this was trivial. But it was not trivial for me. It was clear that Badal Sahib put money interests before party interests. Badal Sahib does not value hard work. My constituency Rampura Phul was the nest of communists. From there, always the comrade won. The Akali Dal had lost six times. Security was also seized several times. I surveyed the communist ideology at a very young age. Communism seemed to me a terrible dictatorship. I became an independent candidate at a very young age to eliminate the influence of Communism from my constituency. I gave my opinion to the public. They listened to me. Considered and accepted. It was the first time I had joined the Akali Dal being Azad Legislator. The whole constituency had become Akali. Earlier, the Akali Dal did not have a single panchayat. After my victory, Akali Panchayats were formed in all the villages. But for Badal Sahib, only money was valued. All the MLAs and Akali leaders felt this. That Badal Sahib, only values is money. The one who brings more money, will get a higher position. Bring it from anywhere. Do cheating looting with anyone.

I could not do that. Where did the money come from? From the people in your constituency. Who respected the MLA or the Akali leader as Massiah as God. When MLA had to go to their house, they would make arrangements as if some divine power was to come. Their poverty was obvious. Even the most basic needs were not being met.

My conscience did not allow me to break my promise of free service to them, to show them false gardens, to take money by deception, and to place them at the feet of Badal Sahib, where there was already a heap of unfathomable notes, I knew in advance. So I decided to retire from politics. Not even voted in any panchayat or society election.

I have a close opportunity to explore Badal Sahi's election strategy. Obliging the press and media, to keep them on their side. False propaganda through disinformation among the people. Personal and economic alliance with the main opposition, are the major weapons of their election policy. This policy of Badal Sahib started at the assembly constituency level with Harcharan Singh Brar, Leader of Opposition. According to which he had to seek help from him in his constituency and by giving help in his constituency. He humiliated the Akali candidate S. Gurmeet Singh. The end of this policy, at the level of the Chief Minister, ends with the alliance with Manmohan Singh. SGPC of about 50 billion annual income submitted to the man of S Manmohan Singh. Himself digested billions of central gov.

Speaking against the Badalshahi dictator ship was a death knell. Those who spoke out against the government, those who opposed corruption, were put to death. Their responsibility was placed on the innocent, who were already burning in the jails, who were the victims of any conspiracy. Even before they had a chance to reveal any truth, such innocents would end up in jails. The news does not even appear in the press. The court is also unable to provide protection, on appeal to the Judicial Court. Not every plaintiff, victim, can go to the High Court in this regard. Justice is very expensive. If found, found too late. The High Court has no means of identifying genuine and fake plaintiffs. There is still a long way, to go before the High Court.

By that time I had twice won assembly seat in the Punjab. I had become a member of the Agriculture Price Commission. I was also nominated as the Director of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, Pusha New Delhi (which conducts research on all agricultural universities in India). Apart from this I was also an officer bearer of many other organizations. I was also honored by my detective based speeches in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha. But S Badal dismissed me that I was anable to offer money according to the desire of Badal Sahib.
