AAP’s beleaguered former convener Sucha Singh Chottepur is also believed to have extended his support to the new political front.
“Our main intention for coming together was to save Punjab from drug scourge, mafia system working in the state”, he said.
If the poster shared on Facebook by Sidhu’s wife, Navjot Kaur Sidhu, is anything to go by, the political party is expected to be launched by September 9.
Navjot Singh Sidhu quits BJP, likely to join AAP?
Ending all the speculations, Cricketer turned politician Navjot Singh Sidhu on Friday has announced new front to fight next assembly election in Punjab. Pargat Singh and Bains Brothers are also seen. Both the Bain brothers are the individual MLA’s in New Delhi on 31 August.
Reiterating that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was like empty vessel which makes loud noise, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Friday dared Kejriwal & Company to list even a single pro-people initiative taken by their Government in Delhi.
Considering it to be a good opportunity, as Sidhu’s talks with AAP was in a stalemate, the Congress party made an offer to the former cricketer, who has already become a household name across the country due to Kapil Sharma’s comedy show on TV. This is a kind of setback for AAP ahead of next year’s assembly polls as Navjot Sindhu has floated a new front called “Aawaaz-e-Punjab”. “We are in talks with all like-minded people to form a non-Akali, non-Congress and non-AAP political front”, he said. “It’s been clear for a long time”. “But his PA told me that he was travelling in a plane”, she said.
The AAP is facing a triangular contest in Punjab against the ruling Akali-BJP combine and Congress.
