Akali workers protest against party MLA Manjeet Singh Manna at Baba Bakala on Tuesday.

AMRITSAR – A group of SAD workers have come out in the open against party MLA from Baba Bakala Manjeet Singh Manna, alleging corruption in disbursal of panchayat funds and registration of false cases against party workers.

The workers warned that if their grievances were not redressed within a week they would not campaign for the party. Among the agitators are Block Samiti members, incumbent sarpanches and former sarpanches. They alleged that development funds were being granted to only those villages whose panchayats were ready to part with a certain percentage of it.

They alleged SAD workers were being implicated in false cases.

They claimed that Sathiala village sarpanch Sucha Singh was falsely booked in a theft case. The workers also took out a protest march in Baba Bakala.

Manna, meanwhile, rejected the allegations levelled against him and dubbed these as baseless and politically motivated.
