Why did Sidhu quit Rajya Sabha?

Former Cricketer and BJP Leader Navjot Singh Sindhu submitted his resignation to Rajya Sabha. This move triggered the speculations of his possible entry into Aam Admi Party sooner or later. If that happens, AAP could make Sidhu its CM Candidate in poll bound Punjab.

BJP Leadership was shell shocked with this development as Sindhu has declared that Narendra Modi is his hero after his nomination of Rajya Sabh by the saffron party. Apparently, Sidhu and his wife Navjot Kaur who is an MLA weren't happy with BJP's alliance with SAD. This could be one of the reasons behind his resignation.



AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal saluted Sindhu for his courage to resign from the Upper House. He, however, remained tightlipped on the queries whether Sidhu would join AAP and be the face of the party in Punjab.

Even AAP Punjab Convenor & State In-Charge welcomed Sidhu's courageous decision. They were hopeful that an official announcement would be made by Sidhu soon.
