Punjab Election 2017 - Navjot Singh Sidhu puts rumors to end, rolls a new party - ‘Awaaz-e-Punjab’9/12/2016 Former cricketer and social personality Navjot Singh Sidhu has finally put an end to rumors of joining AAP or Congress by launching a new political outfit in Punjab called ‘Awaaz-e-Punjab.’ Party has three major faces- Bains brothers of Ludhiana – Simarjeet Singh Bains and Balwinder Singh Bains – and former Indian hockey captain Pargat Singh along with Navjot Singh Sidhu. Since his resignation from Rajya Sabha he was rumored to almost certain to join the Aam Aadmi Party, and the Congress party too expressed their willingness to welcome him to their fold. Many believed after his talks with AAP “failed”, Sidhu decided to float the outfit along with some like-minded people. After he put down his resignation, BJP sought to downplay the issue. BJP leader Prabhat Jha had said, “Had he been a politician, he would not have resigned. There is no need to worry. Party is bigger than any personality.” Sidhu reportedly also wanted to be projected as the AAP’s chief minister candidate in this election in 2017. But it did not work out. In the meantime, Congress leader Amarinder Singh had said that Sidhu was welcome to join Congress as it is in his DNA, as his father happened to be a Congressman. But eventually, no decision was taken on his entry to the Congress fold either. AAP is facing the prospect of a vertical split after its state convenor Sucha Singh Chhotepur was sacked over allegations of bribery. “We have learnt that Sidhu has formed a political front. It is up to him to comment whether they will launch a party or not,” AAP’s Punjab state in-charge Sanjay Singh said.
