“Like the BJP, they (AAP) wanted to make me as another decoration piece”. Kejriwal offered ticket only to my wife to make her a minister if AAP comes to power in the state.

Talking about the newly formed “Awaaz e Punjab” Sidhu said at this time it is just a forum and not a party. With this announcement, he has closed all doors on his speculated association with any party.
Kejriwal has embarked on a four-day visit to the state from yesterday for giving a fresh push to AAP’s assembly poll campaign amid heckling by rivals and voiced apprehension about more muck being thrown at the party in the run-up to the elections.
Sidhu said the move to launch the new political front was to ensure that people in Punjab and Punjabiat won.
He also claimed that Akalis and Congress were “two sides of the same coin” who fought a “friendly-match” and ruined Punjab, which needed a change for its better future. “It is sad and shameful that people who once talked of daily dialogue with people today term political protest as an attack”, Kapoor said.
Sidhu said that in the next 15-20 days he will come out with the front’s future plan.
“Navjot Singh Sidhu’s press conference has made it clear that he is the B Team of the RSS”.
Bains brothers were independent candidates who were leaning towards AAP. It will contest the Punjab Assembly elections, likely to be held in January or early February next year.
Speaking after the launch of the party, Sidhu said: “Awaaz-e-Punjab is the resurrection and redemption of Punjab, which is in dire straits”. My resignation from the Rajya Sabha had nothing to do with the AAP. He also took on the ruling Badal family in Punjab and termed it as “dark clouds”.
In a 71-page judgment pronounced, the division bench comprising Justices SS Saron and Ramendra Jain said that the parliamentary secretaries in fact perform the functions nearly like ministers and enjoy perks and facilities equivalent to that of ministers.
“Sidhu had today said “‘kaale Badal’ (dark clouds) have overshadowed Punjab and people are keen to see sunlight”.

Comparing the AAP with East India Company, Mr Sidhu said, “In history, we read about East India Company, where a handful of foreigners exploited Indians”.
