Chandigarh: Cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu, who resigned from Rajya Sabha membership recently, is still in BJP and does not have any ‘personal grudge’ against the party, Punjab BJP chief Vijay Sampla said on Sunday.
“Navjot Singh Sidhu is still in the BJP. Therefore the question of his return to the party does not arise. He is still in BJP and he has not resigned from the membership of BJP,” Sampla, who is a minister of state in Modi government, told reporters here. He was responding to queries on Sindhu’s first presser after his resignation which he is scheduled to address in Delhi tomorrow where the leader is expected to announce his next course of action. “He has resigned from Rajya Sabha not from BJP,” asserted Sampla. To a query, he said, “Sidhu does not have any personal grudge against the BJP. He may have some personal reasons because of which he took this decision (resigning from BJP). He is not upset with the party.” When asked about speculation that Sidhu along with his wife may join AAP, Sampla said, “Everybody has the right to take any decision and he is free to take any decision.” Asked whether any contact has been established with Sidhu after he resigned from Rajya Sabha, Sampla said, “I tried to contact him but he did not respond.”
