Navjot Singh Sidhu's political future looks like is hanging in the balance. After he resigned from the Rajya Sabha seat, it was widely reported that the former cricketer would be leaving BJP to join AAP ahead of the upcoming polls in Punjab and will the party's face for the poll campaign. It’s an open secret that Sidhu has been bargaining hard with the AAP for a good deal for himself as well as for his wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu, BJP MLA from Amritsar-East. But there seems to be no clear indication on that front yet.
While certain senior party officials maintain that there is no chance of Sidhu making a return to the BJP fold in case his attempts to join AAP fail, there are others within the party who say that he has deliberately maintained an ambiguity about his status within BJP in order to facilitate his return if required. “Wud Navjot Sidhu ji join AAP- lot of rumours? Its my duty to put forward our side. We have greatest greatest regard for this ckt legend. He met me last week. Didn’t put any pre-condition. He needs time to think. Lets respect that. He is a v gud human being n a ckt legend. My respect for him wud continue whether he joins or not (Sic)”, Mr. Kejriwal said in a series of tweets.
