The Shiromani Gurdwara Prabhandhak Committee(SGPC) will meet in Amritsar on Thursday to elect a new President. SGPC’s Akali Dal members had in their meeting, on Wednesday, left the decision of candidate to their leader Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal. SGPC is the supreme religious body of the Sikhs and has 190 members. Of these, 180 have voting powers. 130 members belong to Badal’s Akali Dal, 55 to Tohra’s Sarb Hind Shiromani Akali Dal and 5 to the Mann group. Badal’s candidate is likely to sail through easily. Badal is yet to reveal the name of his party’s candidate. At the Akali Dal meeting on Wednesday, the final decision had been left to the Chief Minister. Incumbent Jagir Kaur, who has been accused of murdering her daughter, is unlikely to be re-elected. If, however, Badal insists on her candidature, there may be cross-voting. Tohra has declared that they will also not filed any candidate unless Jagir Kaur is nominated again. Bureau Report
