Watch the Best Speeches by Now Congressman, Navjot Singh Sidhu

Take a look at the best speeches made by former cricketer, Navjot Singh Sidhu.

Cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu on Sunday joined the Congress ahead of the assembly polls in Punjab after meeting party vice-president Rahul Gandhi.

Sidhu's wife Navjot Kaur had joined the Congress in November last year, leading to speculation that he may follow suit.

The 53-year-old is going to contest from Amritsar-East Assembly seat, party leaders said.

“Known for straight talking, ideological commitment to the cause of nationalism as also wit and humour, we are certain that the Congress party will be immensely strengthened in Punjab and elsewhere with the entry of Sidhu,” said the statement posted on the party Twitter handle.
