Navjot Kaur Sidhu slams opposition: 5 things she says after joining Congress

New Delhi: Asserting that the Congress is the only party which can give Punjab a stable government, Navjot Kaur Sidhu, who joined the Indian National Congress on Monday, slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party, Aam Aami Party and the Akali Government.

• Taking on the Akalis first, Sidhu said "Akali government has led to many governance issues in Punjab."
• While this is how Sidhu expressed her opinion of BJP. "The Bharatiya Janata Party has only become a puppet with no voice in the state."
• Targeting AAP for their lack of leadership in Punjab, Sidhu said " Where is the AAP leadership in Punjab? Who is their CM candidate? Everything is decided in Delhi, including the decision on ticket allocations. In fact, they have been selling tickets."
• She went on to say, "Who will save Punjab in such a situation? New faces, possibly commoners who have no knowledge about the constitution, have been chosen. Is it so simple to run a government that inexperienced and corrupt people will be elected?" questioned Sidhu.
• The former BJP MLA from Amritsar (East) constituency further alleged that AAP has been making false promises and has been fooling the people of Punjab even before the elections."They will curb the drug menace in Punjab within 25 days while their government has failed to curb the drug menace in the capital," Sidhu concluded.

Navjot Kaur Sidhu resigned from the BJP in October, less than a month after her husband, cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu quit the BJP calling it a dictatorship. Sidhu recently launched a new political party, Awaz-e-Punjab, wherein he asked the like-minded people who want to work for Punjab's interest to come together to defeat the forces which have ruined the state. Elections to the Punjab assembly are likely to be held early next year.
