Cricketer Yuvraj Singh Set to Join BJP & Eyeing Gurdaspur Seat? Here's The Truth
Rumours have been doing rounds that former Indian cricketer Yuvaraj Singh was ready to take a plunge into politics.
Reports had claimed that Singh will join the BJP soon and he will contest from the Gurdaspur seat. Speculation gained more credence after he along with his mother Shabnam Singh met Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, recently.

The trend of celebrities foraying into politics in Punjab is not new. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was an actor before he entered politics.
Late controversial singer Sidhu Moosewala, Punjabi actor and comedian Gurpreet Ghuggi, singer-actor Jassi Jasraj, and Mohammad Sadiq were some of the notable celebrities who entered politics in the state.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, Sunny Deol emerged victorious from the BJP, defeating Sunil Jakhar from the Congress party.
Hence, people were not surprised when rumours of Yuvaraj Singh started doing rounds. However, the truth is he has no such plans. The cricketer himself has given a clarification on these speculations.
"Contrary to media reports, I'm not contesting elections from Gurdaspur. My passion lies in supporting and helping people in various capacities, and I will continue to do so through my foundation @YOUWECAN. Let's continue making a difference together to the best of our abilities❤️," he said on X.
