Shiromani Akali Dal has spent the past few years trying to rebuild after electoral setbacks, leadership changes, and the emergence of several rebel Panthic factions. While the party has launched efforts to reunite different groups and strengthen its organisation, critics argue that it is still "putting the pieces back together." With the Panthic vote divided and rival Akali factions competing for influence, many wonder whether the party can truly speak with one voice again.
