Niranjan Singh, a former deputy director of the Enforcement Directorate, announced his departure from the Akali party Waris Punjab De just three days after joining, citing reasons he disclosed.
Niranjan Singh, who previously served as a deputy director in the Enforcement Directorate, publicly announced his decision to leave the Akali‑aligned political outfit Waris Punjab De. The announcement was made within 72 hours of his reported association with the party.
The former senior bureaucrat had been linked to Waris Punjab De only a few days earlier, a party that seeks to represent Sikh and Punjabi interests in the state. Singh's brief stint with the organization ended abruptly, and he said he was stepping away for reasons he outlined in his statement.
At the time of reporting, neither Waris Punjab De nor any of its representatives had issued an official response to Singh's departure. The move adds another development to the evolving political landscape in Punjab as parties recalibrate their leadership and membership ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
