He joined the SAD (Taksali) in Amritsar Sahib in the presence of party head Ranjit Singh Brahmpura.
It is noteworthy here that General JJ Singh was earlier a part of Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) and he was fielded against Captain Amarinder Singh from Patiala assembly segment in the last state assembly polls.
Interacting with media on this occasion, General JJ Singh accused the SAD (Badal) of sabotaging his political innings by hobnobbing with the Congress.
On being questioned about joining the SAD (Taksali), General JJ Singh said that the SAD (Taksali) leaders have promised him to abide by the basic constitution of Shiromani Akali Dal.
Ranjit Singh Brahmpura said that his party would contest the Parliamentary polls in alliance with other parties BSP, Lok Insaaf Party, Punjab Ekta Party and Dr. Dharamvir Gandhi. However, he made it clear that the SAD (Taksali) won�t form an alliance with the AAP.
�The party would soon decide the seat from where General JJ Singh would be contesting the election� he added.
