Navjot Singh Sidhu, the cricketer turned politician on Wednesday declared that his Awaaz-e-Punjab is not a political party and is absolutely open to alliance with like-minded groups. He also denied the fact that Awaaz-e-Punjab will divide opposition votes during the assembly election next year.
Former hockey player Pargat Singh said, “We will do everything to defeat the ruling alliance to ensure that Punjab gets back on the track.”
Sidhu quit his Rajya Sabha membership on July 18 and had announced floating of a “non-political” platform Awaaz-e-Punjab. He had formally resigned from the BJP on September 14 accusing the party of using him as a “decorative piece” and trying to keep him out of Punjab.
Soon after his resignation from BJP, there were various speculations about his political future. There was a talk of Sidhu joining AAP and becoming its CM face in the assembly polls next year, but finally this plan was never executed.
