Patiala: The political wing of Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda is yet to take a call on whom to support in the January 30 Punjab assembly elections.
The Dera's political wing, Sadh Sangat Rajneetik Wing, has been maintaining that they are still getting feedback from their followers.
"Our seven-member committee will take a final call in this matter and Guru ji (Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim) has nothing to do with politics," Ram Singh, who is associated with the political wing of the Dera, said.
He said they will announce their plan two to three days before the polls.
The Dera wields considerable influence in some pockets of Punjab, including Bathinda region where it has a sizable number of followers.
"We have received the feedback from one section of our followers that we should support a particular party. Some followers have asked us to extend support on assembly segment wise basis," he said.
The Dera had been at loggerheads with the Sikh clergy for alleged insult to Sikh guru Govind Singh.
