Kejriwal Wanted Sidhu To Lead Punjab AAP: Navjot Kaur Reveals "Hidden Secret"

Congress leader Navjot Kaur has opened up on a "hidden secret" by claiming that AAP Convenor Arvind Kejriwal wanted her husband Navjot Singh Sidhu to lead his party in Punjab.

In a series of tweets, she said, "CM, Bhagwant Mann; let me today open out a hidden secret from your treasure hunt. You should know that the very honourable chair you are occupying has been gifted to you by your big brother, Mr Navjot Sidhu. Your very own senior most leader had desired Navjot to lead Punjab."

She claimed that Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal had approached Sidhu through various channels to lead the state.

"Mr Kejriwal through various channels approached him to lead Punjab knowing about his passion for our state. Just because he didn't want to betray his party and thought that two strong headed people might clash when it came to strategy to uplift Punjab, he gave you a chance," Kaur claimed. She further said her husband's only concern is the welfare of Punjab and he has sacrificed everything for it.

"You tread on the path of TRUTH and he shall support you but the moment you deviate he will target you left and right. Golden Punjab state is his dream and he lives it 24 hours a day," she said in another tweet.

In February 2022, Punjab went to poll where the Aam Aadmi Party registered a landslide victory by winning 92 seats while the ruling Congress party faced a humiliating defeat as it was reduced to just 18 seats in the 117-member House. The once-powerful party the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) managed to bag just three seats.

After the victory, Bhagwant Mann was made the Chief Minister of Punjab.
