Tarn Taran (Punjab), November 14, 2025: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal has termed the Tarn Taran by-election outcome a “historic moral victory” for his party, alleging that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government misused the Punjab Police and administrative machinery to influence the poll.

The ruling AAP's candidate Harmeet Singh Sandhu won by a margin of 12,091 votes in the Tarn Taran bypolls. Sandhu is a Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) turncoat and a three-time MLA.

In a sharp reaction following the result, Badal said the voters of Tarn Taran had “bravely fought state-backed tyranny” and stood firmly with SAD candidate Bibi Sukhwinder Kaur Randhawa.
