He further said, “Kejriwalji tweeted about the meeting with me, but he said half truth. When I met Kejriwal he said that I should not fight elections and asked me to let my wife contest instead, promising to make her a minister”.

Speaking after the launch of the party, Sidhu said: “Awaaz-e-Punjab is the resurrection and redemption of Punjab, which is in dire straits”. He concluded the conference by asking for another 15 days before coming back with his decision with regards to upcoming Panjab elections.
The Congress leader also said that the Delhi High Court order is vindication of what the party has been saying for long.
“I was told by people in Punjab that Sukhbir Badal will do a lot of things against us, including making allegations”.
Kejriwal was on his way to Amritsar on the second day of his four day Punjab tour and was sitting in the front seat of his vehicle. He said good people are ousted from politics and they keep watching as mute spectators which is no less a crime. “We will shake the system that has ruined Punjab and it can not be shaken by those who have vested interest”, added Sidhu. AAP spokesperson Dilip Pandey said the Delhi government told the court that the appointment of 21 Parliamentary Secretaries was made without the approval of Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung.
“Like the BJP, they (AAP) wanted to make me another decoration piece”.
“You only want yes men”.
On October 7 past year, the AAP government had defended the appointment of parliamentary secretaries, saying this was done to assist the ministers and ensure its harmonious functioning. “Our slogan is Punjab will win, Punjabiyat will win and Punjabis will win”.
The include former Indian hockey team captain Pargat Singh, a legislator of Punjab’s ruling Shiromani Akali Dal, and two independent legislators, Balwinder Singh Bains and Simarjeet Singh Bains. “We will not leave till we uproot the pole of the Badals”, Kejriwal said.
Mr. Sidhu, who resigned as Rajya Sabha MP in July this year following differences with the BJP, said the party conveniently set him aside after forming the government for which he had rigorously campaigned.

“The BJP will ensure that the people of Punjab expose Kejriwal vis-a-vis his misdeeds in every nook and corner of the state”, he added.
