Patiala segment: Is Rakhra SAD choice?

Sources said Rakhra was close to Badal and has the support of traders.

Over 20 councillors from the city, including SAD district president Indermohan Singh Bajaj and Patiala Deputy Mayor Anil Bajaj, today attended a function to thank Rakhra for bringing grants to the city. 8220;I was perturbed to see Patiala neglected, so I asked Badal to come to the city and hear the grievances of the people,8221; he told The Indian Express. 8220;I am not doing this to get a SAD ticket. Besides, such decisions are taken by the party,8221; he added. He, however, said, 8220;Badal sahib had asked me to fight the coming Lok Sabha polls from Delhi, but I want to work for the state.8221;
