On Wednesday morning, Navjot Singh Sidhu and wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu formally resigned from the BJP after months of controversy around the upcoming elections in Punjab.
Sidhu has already announced his own front – Awaaz-e-Punjab – along with hockey player-turned-MLA Pargat Singh and Punjab-based Independent MLAs Simarjeet Singh Bains and Balwinder Singh Bains.
Sidhu’s wife, who has also formally resigned from the party, openly accused the Shiromani Akali Dal-BJP combine for stifling the couple in their own constituency.
I am an individual and I only picked up issues of my zone, but I wasn’t allowed. If I raise social issues, how is that anti-party? This is not a democracy, this is a dictatorship.Navjot Kaur Sidhu on SAD-BJP alliance
