Chandigarh: Spilling the beans on why his much-speculated association with the AAP never culminated, cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu on Thursday said that its chief Arvind Kejriwal had asked him not to contest the Punjab Assembly elections but only focus on campaigning (for AAP).
“Like the BJP, they (AAP) wanted to make me another decoration piece. Kejriwal told me not to contest and only campaign for the party. I was offered that my wife will be made a minister,” said Sidhu.
The chirpy Sidhu, who formally announced a new political front ‘Awaaz-e-Punjab’ here on Thursday, said that his fight was against the system and the leaders who had “ruined” Punjab. Sidhu’s revelations on the AAP episode, which he described as the “other half truth” that had not been revealed by Kejriwal in his tweets, came on a day when Kejriwal started his four-day Punjab trip to rejuvenate AAP’s crisis-ridden unit.
