Former India cricketer and politician Navjot Singh Sidhu resigned from the Rajya Sabha, while his wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu quit the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), news reports on Monday said. The reports also suggested that the erstwhile MP will join the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and become AAP's chief ministerial candidate in poll-bound Punjab.
In his resignation letter, Sidhu said there was closure of every window. "At behest of PM, I had accepted RS nomination for welfare of Punjab. With closure of every window leading to Punjab the purpose stands defeated, now a mere burden. I prefer not to carry it," he had said.
