Shiromani Akali Dal has started 'Punjab Bachao Yatra' in Punjab. Before starting this journey from Attari, Sukhbir Singh Badal paid obeisance at Sri Harmandir Sahib and prayed.

On this occasion SGPC Members of the senior leadership of Akali Dal including President Advocate Dhami were present.

The purpose of this yatra started by the Akali Dal before the Lok Sabha elections is to tell the people of the state about the achievements of the previous Akali Dal government and to open the polls on the promises of the Aam Aadmi Party government.

The Shiromani Akali Dal says that nothing is being done by AAP in the state, the government has wasted 1500 crore rupees on advertising and its publicity.

Jason Kenney Links UCP Calgary-Shaw Defeat to Alberta Separation Debate

Former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has linked the UCP’s defeat in the Calgary-Shaw byelection to the upcoming separation referendum, saying the debate over Alberta leaving Canada is turning away Conservative voters who also feel strongly about the country. Kenney said the separation issue is pushing some nationalist supporters toward opposition parties such as the NDP. He believes the October 19 referendum is having a negative impact on Conservative support.

While core inflation remains under control for now, economists warn that continued oil price shocks could push
