NDTV
Punjab Elections 2022: Navjot Sidhu had earlier drawn flak for congratulating the people of Punjab for making an "excellent decision" in choosing AAP.
A day after resigning from the post of Punjab Congress chief, Navjot Singh Sidhu has continued his endorsement of the Aam Aadmi Party which snatched the state from his own party. In a tweet wishing the new Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who was sworn into the top job on Wednesday, he said that Mr Mann "unfurls a new anti-mafia era in Punjab." Following his party's defeat, he had drawn flak for congratulating the people of Punjab for making an "excellent decision" in choosing AAP. The happiest man is the one from whom no one expects … Bhagwant Mann unfurls a new anti - Mafia era in Punjab with a mountain of expectations …hope he rises to the occasion , brings back Punjab on the revival path with pro - people policies … best always
"The happiest man is the one from whom no one expects ... Bhagwant Mann unfurls a new anti - Mafia era in Punjab with a mountain of expectations ...hope he rises to the occasion , brings back Punjab on the revival path with pro - people policies ... best always," he said on Twitter.
Mr Sidhu featured prominently in the Congress's prolonged infighting last year which experts believe was one of the reasons that led the party to a humiliating defeat. He went head-to-head with former Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh, accusing him of shielding the drug mafia and going soft on political rivals accused in the sensitive sacrilege case. Captain Singh was then unceremoniously removed from the top job and replaced by Charanjit Singh Channi just months ahead of the state assembly elections. Mr Sidhu, who unsuccessfully projected himself as the Chief Minister contender after Captain Singh's removal, continued to take swipes at his own party's government led by Mr Channi.
