Lambi: While Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal has insisted the Centre may postpone the Assembly polls, former chief minister Parkash Singh Badal, however, differ with his daughter-in-law’s opinion on the matter, saying it was “unlikely”.

Both Badal and Harsimrat had together toured Lambi and addressed meetings.

Badal said: “The Election Commission has to conduct the elections and it comes under the Centre. But I don’t think the elections will be postponed in the state.”

Earlier, Harsimrat had said that there is a ploy to weaken the state. “Either the polls will be postponed or President’s rule will be imposed so that the SAD can’t form the government,” she added.
