More than five months after his expulsion from the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal on disciplinary grounds,Punjab’s former finance minister Manpreet Singh Badal floated his own political party named Peoples Party of Punjab (PPP).

Addressing a gathering after launching the new party,he said citing its Constitution that no one older than 70 years in the party will hold a ministerial position and its president shall have zero tolerance to corruption and shall function strictly according to meritocracy.

“The constitution of the party has been framed in a manner that there is no scope for any corrupt element to enter. Likewise,nepotism and dynasty system have been vehemently discouraged,” Manpreet,who resigned from the state Assembly yesterday,said.
