Navjot Singh Sidhu resigns as Rajya Sabha MP, may join AAP

[ashok321]

NEW DELHI: In a big setback for the BJP ahead of Punjab elections, senior party leader and nominated Rajya Sabha MP Navjot Singh Sidhu has put in his papers.

The former India cricketer and BJP's Lok Sabha MP from Amritsar may join the Aam Aadmi Party, according to reports.

He was recently appointed as Rajya Sabha MP.

Arvind Kejriwal had last year said he will welcome the cricketer-turned politician if he wanted to join AAP.

"We will welcome Navjot Singh Sidhu if he wants to join AAP," Kejriwal said while replying to a question that there was talk in the political circles that Sidhu would be projected as an AAP candidate in the upcoming Punjab assembly elections.

Kejriwal also said that he was confident of sweeping the Punjab elections.

"First of all, I am confident that we'll sweep Punjab elections looking the current surveys that were conducted. I won't be surprised if the Delhi assembly results are repeated in Punjab. As far as face of the party is concerned, it will emerge at the right time," Kejriwal said.

Correct.
But AAP is destined to win anyway.
It would be a miracle if AAP is defeated in Punjab.

Another Shah-Jaitley achievement. They are molding BJP into Congress of 70-s. Turning talents away.

BJP didnt do justice to Sidhu... This was bound to happen ...

But BJP had less option ... BJP cant betray SAD ... They have stood with BJP in rough times ... They are the ally which never threatened BJP of quitting NDA ... They never question leadership change and on sensitive issues like RAM Mandir and Uniform Civil code...

But BJP should remember that Raj Dharam comes before friends and relations... They should only be loyal to the people ...

There are talks that few BJP leaders managed this deal of moving Sidhu to AAP. Looks like some in BJP are not happy with obvious highhandedness of Amit Shah.

Even I ma having doubts on his capabilities. He seems to have a knack of repelling talented people. It started with PK and is going on.

Win some, loose some..

Himanta was anyways coming to BJP after Tarun Gogoi promoted his son. Many people are not at all happy with abrasive behaviour of AS.

A big jolt to BJP, but still it's yet to be seen if Sidhu will be allowed to work freely or would only follow Kejriwal's diktats.
