The community, according to the Sabha, was living under the shadow of fear under the Badal regime and many had even been thinking of fleeing the state.A delegation of the Brahmin Sabha, led by its chairman B.K. Dutt and president Sheikhar Shukla, along with a dozen other members, met Captain Amarinder to convey their faith in his leadership and assured him of all possible help in the assembly polls to prevent the Badal-led Akalis and Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) from looting the people of the state.Captain Amarinder assured the delegation that their interests would be looked after once his government takes over after the elections. Responding to their request for redressal of their pending concerns and demands, Captain Amarinder said he would take all possible steps to address the same without delay, on coming to power.Besides seeking construction of Khatti Dham and its declaration as heritage village, the Brahmin Sabha is demanding constitution of the Brahmin Kalyan Board for the welfare of the community. Other key demands of the Brahmin Sabha include appointment of Brahmin Sabha members to honorary posts such as chairman/members of the Board, etc., as well as appointments in state and district level committee of Punjab, along with SSPs and DCs etc.Appointment of Brahmin youth in government, semi-government and private sector jobs is another of the main demands that the Brahmin Sabha is pursuing,  and that Captain Amarinder has promised to look into.
