Chandigarh/UNI: The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Saturday announced formation of an alliance with the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) for the forthcoming Assembly elections in Punjab.

Announcing this at a joint press conference with the BSP, here, SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal said BSP will contest elections on 20 seats while SAD will fight from the remaining seats.

"This is a new day in Punjab politics as Shiromani Akali Dal is forming an alliance with the BSP after 25 years and will continue this alliance even in future," the SAD chief said.

BSP leader and Rajya Sabha Member Satish Mishra termed it a ''historic'' alliance.

"Both the parties have the same ideologies and have been fighting for the rights of farmers, labourers and Dalits," he said.

Both the leaders thanked BSP supremo Mayawati for the pact.
