Chandigarh, Aug 7 - A day after he was elected from the Jalalabad constituency in the border district of Ferozepur, Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal Friday made his maiden entry as legislator in the Punjab assembly.

Badal and two other newly-elected Akali Dal legislators, Jasjit Singh Bunny from Banur and Sewa Singh Sekhwan from Kahnuwan, were administered the oath by Speaker Nirmal Singh Kahlon.

'The Akali Dal victory on all three seats is significant. It is a positive vote for a transparent, people-friendly governance of this (Parkash Singh Badal) government,' Sukhbir Badal said after taking oath here in Punjabi.

His father and Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and other senior Akali Dal leaders were present when he took oath.

Sukhbir Badal was sworn in as deputy chief minister in January.
