Badal defied it to the extent that he interfered in the normal functioning of the SGPC and instigated the members of the SGPC led his henchmen to humiliate  Gurcharan Singh Tohra and hound him out of the position of the president ship the SGPC.   Maharaja Ranjit Singh controlled the Akal Takht and the Harmandir Sahib, but he ever came to the holy places as a humble Sikh and when ever he violated the code of the Khalsa, the Jathedar; Akali Phula Singh called him before the Panthic assembly at the Akal Takht.  He begged pardon and accepted the word of the Jathedar as a humble Sikh.   Badal on the other hand has dared to "dismiss" the Jathedar of the Akal Takht.  It is noteworthy that Akal Takht Jathedar Singh Sahib Bhai Ranjit Singh is a man with an aura of sacrifice round him.  He remained in jail for over 14 years, for having tried to fight against the Nirankaris.  Badal’s blunder is an unpardonable sin against the Khalsa Panth and he loses all credentials to lead the community.

2. Shameless govt’s interference in the religious affairs of the Sikhs and denigrating the Sikh institution
The Sikhs have been constantly fighting against the Government's interference in the religious affairs.  Master Tara Singh launched a morcha against this.  Earlier, the whole Akali movement was fought on the principle of restoring the Panthic control over the religious shrines. For the 1st time in history, Badal has used the government machinery and the articles of The Sikh Gurdwara Act to crush the power of the Sikh Panth.  He appointed his henchmen on the Gurdwara Judicial Commission, to get the desired verdict. Then used police to harass the members of the SGPC, lured them with money and positions, to make them unseat  Tohra as President of SGPC and fight against Jathedar  of Akal Takht Singh Sahib Bhai Ranjit Singh. 

The present state of the affairs is that only the writ of Mr. Parkash Singh Badal, the Chief of Minister of Punjab, runs in the affairs of SGPC and his newly appointed Jathedar and the President of SGPC. remain his servants and a declaration to this effect has been made by 'Sarkari Jathedar' Giani Puran Singh himself.

3. The Khalsa tercentenary used for projecting Parkash Singh Badal himself and his Government
The anxiety of the Mr. Badal was to look supreme and project himself as the sole leader of the Khalsa during the Khalsa tercentenary celebration.  For this purpose, he created the Anandpur Sahib Foundation to upstage the SGPC, started orchestrating the slogan, that he would create the 8th wonder of the world at Anandpur Sahib.  All his efforts ended in dividing the Sikh Community.  The devotion to the Guru, turned into frustration and apathy.  We were unable to give any slogan or message to the young people, to return to the fold of Khalsa, look to the Guru not to violate the sanctity of the Keshas.  The event passed of and even the leaders did not get themselves baptized.  A month later, wisdom dawned on them.  How far they have dedicated themselves to the Panth, is known to Guru only. The Sikh tradition, in the process, got a beating.  Guru Granth Sahib was not the presiding deity at the inaugural session.  Siropas were given to apostates from the holy pulpit of Takht Shri Keshgarh Sahib.  The so called order of the Khalsa was awarded indiscriminately to those who were even non-believers.  People like Principal Satbir Singh, did not find a place on the list.  International writers like Patwant Singh ignored these awards.

4.  Badal played fraud on the Guru and the Panth
Prakash Singh Badal has committed a fraud on the people by violating the constitution of the Akali Dal.  He assumed the office of the Akali Dal, when he himself was not a baptized Sikh.  He also appointed such office bearers who were only power seekers and had no faith in the supremacy of the Khalsa Panth.

5. Failure of the Badal Government and financial mess

The government headed by Prakash Singh Badal has utterly failed to deliver the goods. he people had high expectations that the government would apply balm on the wounds of the Sikh youth and will give corruption free and efficient administration.  They also expected that the human rights would not be violated and the police officers will have to act within the norms of law.  Their extra constitutional powers would be withdrawn.  But nothing of this type has happened.  Badal runs the administration through a coterie of corrupt officials and family members. His political henchmen have mismanaged finances. The president of the state BJP has levied serious charges against the government.  The promises made by the centre have proved hollow.

6. Non implementation of election promises and election manifesto
The political agenda, put forth by the Akali Dal, in the election manifesto has been folded up. Prakash Singh Badal has never talked about it, since he took the reins of the government in his hands.  He did nothing :-
a)  For pressing the central government to take steps to amend the constitution, so as to make it federal in the real sense.
b)  The long standing demands of the Punjab for getting Chandigarh, Punjabi speaking areas from Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, scraping the SYL Canal Project, have never found mention before the central Govt. or even in the statements of Badal.
c)  The Udham Singh Nagar issue was badly handled and Badal seemed to have cheated the Sikhs of Terai.
d)  Nothing has been done to punish the oppressive police officers.  Rather the government is defending them on the state's cost.
e)  The so-called provision of free electricity has proved to be a trap for the people.  The rise in domestic tariff has neutralized the concession.
The non implication of the manifesto is a serious charge of which Mr. Prakash Singh Badal Singh guilty.

7. Misuse of the party and the office of the Chief Minister by Badal
The working of the Shiromani Akali Dal has left much to be desired.  The question of Sikh identity has been side-lined by offering offices of the Shiromani Akali Dal to rich, but apostate people.  The accounts of the Shiromani Akali Dal are in a mess.  There is no treasurer of the Akali Dal and the accounts are not being maintained, in the scheduled bank, nor are being audited.  There is no provision for a Political Affairs Committee, in the  Akali Dal constitution. In fact there is no Akali Dal - it is only Badal Dal.

8. Secret pact with Indian Congress
Prakash Singh Badal maintains close relationship with Indian Congress, at the state and the central level, through the Kairon family.  That is why no inquiry has been ordered against the corrupt ministers and officers of Beant Singh government.  The Congress is guilty of having insulted the Sikhs and having violated the sanctity of Harmandir Sahib and Akal Takht and there cannot be any compromise with such a party.  Badal’s actions in this regard are reprehensible.

9. Failure as party President and frequent violation of the party constitution
(a)  As president of the Shiromani Akali Dal, Badal’s actions tended to appropriate the authority within himself, divide the Akali workers vertically, between those personally loyal to him and the rest . Such actions disappointed the dedicated workers of long-standing and they found themselves pushed to the background.  The frustrations among the Akali rank is the result of these policies of Parkash Singh Badal.

(b) Badal acted as a dictator of the Shiromani Akali Dal, allowed Punjabi media baron Barjinder Singh Hamdard to use the party to his best interest.  He was made Rajya Sabha member not as an Akali but as an independent - interestingly, all the voters were the Akalis.  He was made the chairman Anandpur Sahib Foundation, for which he lacked any religious pretensions.  To fight the Sri Akal Takht Jathedar, he gave unlimited power and patronage to Barjinder Singh Hamdard.

Badal as president of Shiromani Akali Dal has encouraged sycophants, and has given bad name to Akali Dal as a party of self seekers, egoist and corrupt upstarts. Badal has proved to be a past master in the art of befouling the Sikhs and also the Punjabi's.  He is neither true to the Guru, nor to the Panth.  He wields power not in the name of the Panth or Punjab.  He wields it for his own sake and for the sake of his family.  The Panth has relied for too long on him.
