Several leaders wasted no time to say that he was set to join the AAP. Sources close to Sidhu, however, said that the tweet was interpreted wrongly as he was “responding to Bhagwant Mann, who was egging on him to react on Congress getting crores from thermal plants owners”.
Former Punjab Cabinet minister Navjot Singh Sidhu set party circles abuzz with speculation on Tuesday with a tweet that said that the opposition AAP has “always recognised his vision and work for Punjab”.
Several leaders wasted no time to say that he was set to join the AAP. Sources close to Sidhu, however, said that the tweet was interpreted wrongly as he was “responding to Bhagwant Mann, who was egging on him to react on Congress getting crores from thermal plants owners”.
Sidhu sent out a few other tweets to settle the speculation.
In his first tweet in response to AAP’s Bhagwant Mann, Sidhu had written, “Our opposition AAP has always recognised my vision & work for Punjab. Be it before 2017- Beadbi, Drugs, Farmers Issues, Corruption & Power Crisis faced by People of Punjab raised by me or today as I present “Punjab Model” It is clear they know – who is really fighting for Punjab.”
In another tweet, he said: “If the Opposition dares to question me, yet they can’t escape my pro-people agenda … This means they have resigned to their fate!!”
