Navjot Sidhu Could be Chief Campaigner, Not CM Candidate: AAP

Only three months after being appointed to the Rajya Sabha, Navjot Singh Sidhu announced his resignation.

Aam Aadmi Party sources have indicated that while Navjot Singh Sidhu may not be the Chief Ministerial candidate he could be the chief campaigner in the Punjab Assembly elections next year.

When former cricketer and commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu announced his resignation from the Rajya Sabha, the frenzied rumour mills said he was going to join the Aam Aadmi Party and become the face of the party in poll-bound Punjab.

On Tuesday, however, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal seemed to suggest otherwise.

Kejriwal appeared to suggest that talk of Sidhu becoming the AAP’s Chief Ministerial candidate would be premature.

Aisa kuch nahi hai (There’s nothing of that sort). He has just resigned from the Rajya Sabha seat and I think all good people should resign from the BJP. I admire his courage.
