Because of this dispute, removing Both Dhindsa and Badal from President Rank’s will cause fire between supporters and may make the Akali dispute deeper. So any Article including the Akali Party will have to also include either Badal or Dhindsa as Presidents of the party. Daljit Cheema has called this move un Democratic and fraud and theft, however nobody took that serious... ever since then many people have been joining Dhindsa’s faction, he said to the [[Punjab Democratic Alliance]], [[Navjot Sidhu]], [[Aam Aadmi Party]], and all Akali Factions except for Simranjit Mann’s to all come together and form a strong third front. | Because of this dispute, removing Both Dhindsa and Badal from President Rank’s will cause fire between supporters and may make the Akali dispute deeper.

At first everybody thought it was a joke, they said they were all standing with the Badal’s when they did the beadbi, but later on, the [[Lok Insaaf Party]] admitted that they were having talks.

Many Political parties and families have joined with his faction, [[United Akali Dal]] merged with the party on July 25, 2020, the Sandhu and Talwandi Families have merged with the party, and so have many more politicians. Dhindsa said that he is waiting for the [[Shiromani Akali Dal (Taksali)]] to merge. | ||
