With party hopping being flavour of the election season, several ‘turncoats’ including cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu, former hockey player and ex-Akali leader Pargat Singh have been given tickets to contest the Punjab assembly elections to be held on February 4.
Party jumpers, who hopped from one party to other during poll season to seek tickets, were found in major political outfits including Congress, AAP and SAD and they were fielded despite party aspirants at some seats raising voice against their nominations.
Prominent among party hoppers is 53-year-old cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu who first resigned from the Rajya Sabha and then quit the BJP.
