Navjot Kaur, wife of Navjot Singh Sidhu, has said that his resignation from the Rajya Sabha means he has also quit the BJP and the only option left for him was to join the Aam Aadmi Party. The cricketer-turned-politician had yesterday resigned from the Rajya Sabha just three months after his nomination by the union government.
The AAP gave indications that he may be made the party’s face in the Punjab Assembly elections next year. Stating that Sidhu wants to serve Punjab, Ms. Sidhu said that there is no question of his going back on his decision. Kaur is an MLA from Amritsar-East constituency and is Chief Parliamentary Secretary (Health) in the SAD-BJP Government of Punjab.
