Paramjit Singh Sarna-led SAD-Delhi, on the other hand, could bag only five seats. Sarna, the outgoing president of the DSGMC, himself lost the election from Punjabi Bagh to young leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa. A dejected Sarna has accepted the defeat and congratulated the Shiromani Akali Dal. It is after a decade that the Shiromani Akali Dal has succeeded in getting control of the Delhi gurdwaras. This election could be a trend setter for the forthcoming Delhi Assembly election.
