Raj Sadosh/Abohar.

Liquor baron Shiv Lal Doda’s daughter-in-law, Dr. Suhani Doda, has joined the Aam Aadmi Party in the presence of Manish Sisodia and Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema at Chandigarh. She is the daughter of Dr. L.C. Thakral who had retired on superannuation of service from the Punjab Health Department.

Shiv Lal Doda had unsuccessfully contested Vidhan Sabha election as an independent candidate against Sunil Jakhar in 2012 and lost by a margin of 9788 votes. In the 2017 election, his family openly supported Arun Narang who contested on BJP ticket and won. However, Narang lost to Sandeep Jakhar in the 2022 elections by getting 21,534 only and trailed behind the AAP candidate Kuldeep Kumar.

The court of District and Session Judge Fazilka, in August 2019, sentenced Shiv Lal Doda and 24 others to life imprisonment in an infamous case of brutal murder of Bhim tank a 27-year-old Dalit youth in December 2015. Doda has also been a close confidant of SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal.

With the new political development, there is a buzz in the political circles that Dr. Suhani Doda may be considered as AAP candidate in the 2027 Vidhan Sabha election instead of Arun Narang who had joined AAP after Sunil Jakhar was selected by the BJP high command to head the party in Punjab
