Navjot Singh Sidhu resigned from Rajya Sabha and is tipped to join AAP.
Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Monday said "nobody likes Dalbadloo" (turncoat) while reacting to the speculations that cricketer turned politician Navjot Singh Sidhu along with his wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu may join AAP. However, he refused to comment on the decision of Sidhu who resigned from Rajya Sabha seat.
"This is his (Sidhu) decision what can I say," Badal told reporters here this evening. When he was asked that speculations were rife that Sidhu along with his wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu, who is also Chief Parliamentary Secretary in SAD-BJP regime in Punjab, might join Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Badal said, "He joins whichever party. But nobody likes Dalbadloo (turncoat)," said Badal.
Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today said resignation of Navjot Singh Sidhu from Rajya Sabha would have no impact on the SAD-BJP alliance and on the Assembly poll results in the state. Replying to a question on possibility of the Sidhu couple joining AAP, he said whether they go to Aam Aadmi Party or Khaas Aadmi Party it would have no bearing on the outcome of the results of Assembly polls next year.
Terming Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal "good only for theatrics", he said the AAP leader didn't came to Sri Harmandir Sahib for performing sewa but to enact a "mere drama" which is clear to the people.
Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh on Monday said BJP MP Navjot Singh Sidhu's resignation from Rajya Sabha was a "foregone conclusion" as he had been left with "little option". "Pushed to the wall by the Akalis and his own party, the BJP, maintaining a conniving silence, Sidhu was left with little option other than resigning," he said.
"He (Sidhu) may have resigned from Rajya Sabha today, but we all know he had virtually withdrawn from active politics for a long time and was left with only a token presence in the BJP," he said, adding that hence, his resignation from Rajya Sabha and maybe even from the BJP sooner or later, does not come as a surprise.
The senior Congress leader said given the treatment meted out to him and his wife by the Akalis, the BJP's alliance partner, Sidhu's continuance within the party (BJP) defied all logic.
