Punjab unit chief of Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) Vijay Sampla on Sunday said here that, Navjot Singh Sidhu is still with BJP and he has not resigned from the party. Sidhu did not answer calls made to him.
“At the behest of the honourable PM, I had accepted the Rajya Sabha nomination for the welfare of punjab”.
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.
Sidhu had later reportedly described his Rajya Sabha post as “burden” suggesting resentment with his party.
Sidhu’s wife Navjot Kaur, a Parliamentary Secretary in the Punjab SAD-BJP govt, may also follow her husband by quitting the BJP. “He may have some personal reasons but he has no grudge against the BJP”.
While he was not available for comments, there is talk of Sidhu joining the AAP ahead of the state elections and may be made the party’s face in the state. “I only want to serve Punjab and Amritsar”, he said.

Sidhu cleared that no party in the world is more important than Punjab. He gave up his membership on July 18, the opening day of the monsoon session, amid speculation that he was going to join the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
