Battered and bruised after facing a humiliating defeat in the Punjab assembly polls that were held about four months ago, the Sukhbir Singh Badal-led Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) now seems to be facing a major rebellion within its ranks over the senior leadership delaying in taking “correctional” steps to take the party out of the crisis.
