Earlier, the Akali Dal, a long-time ally of the BJP, had parted ways with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in protest against agricultural laws. His daughter-in-law Harsimrat Kaur Badal also resigned from the Union Cabinet, as protests against agricultural bills were going on in Punjab. SAD is an opposition party in Punjab.
