O -Guru I am going to join AAP on August 15 : Navjot Sngh Sidhu
NEW DELHI: Former BJP MP Navjot Singh Sidhu is likely to join AAP on August 15, a report said. Sidhu will join the Arvind Kejriwal-led party as star campaigner, according to to a tv channel .Earlier, on Monday, breaking his silence, Navjot Singh Sidhu had said that he quit Rajya Sabha as BJP had asked him to stay away from Punjab.
He asserted that he will choose the state “hundred times” above any party or family. But, he kept everyone guessing on his future course of action.The cricketer-turned-politician, who made clear his displeasure with BJP, parried queries on whether he would join Aam Aadmi Party, saying he will be standing wherever the interests of Punjab are served.
This is how Arvind Kejriwal reacted after Navjot Singh Sidhu revealed why he quit Rajya Sabha .Sidhu had alleged that he was told to keep away from Punjab to “serve selfish interests,” indicating that the BJP was acting under its ally Shiromani Akali Dal’s pressure as Akalis and Sidhu have had a long spell of hostility.
Targeting BJP, Sidhu said he delivered the prestigious Amritsar seat to the party during adverse circumstances but was “drowned in the Modi wave” in 2014, when he was asked to shift from the constituency.
