New Delhi : Cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu, whose joining the Aam Aadmi Party was being seen as a foregone conclusion at one point, has kept everyone guessing about his future plans.
The party today said it was Sidhu’s decision to quit the Rajya Sabha and it would be “entirely” his call to join the outfit. Sidhu had on Friday met Delhi Chief Minister and AAP’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal at the latter’s residence, but the party remained tight lipped on what transpired at the meeting.
“It was Sidhu’s decision to quit the Rajya Sabha and we welcomed it. Now, it will be entirely his decision to join the party. The people of Punjab will decide who their MLAs and the Chief Minister will be,” AAP’s national spokesperson Dilip Pandey said.
“It is not clear whether he will join the party and when. AAP was on the rise in Punjab even before he expressed his desire to join. So things will not play out the way he wants,” said another senior party leader.
However, a party leader from Punjab said Sidhu was likely join the party soon.
After his sudden resignation from the Rajya Sabha last month, the former BJP MP from Amritsar had lashed out at the party leadership, but kept mum on his future plans.
