New Delhi: Cricketer turned politician, Navjot Singh Sidhu retired from his post as the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee chief on Tuesday. His announcement left the party members in utter shock as he was likely to be the face of Punjab Chief Minister in upcoming elections in Punjab.
In a letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Sidhu wrote, “The collapse of a man’s character stems from the compromise corner, I can never compromise on Punjab’s future and the agenda for the welfare of Punjab. Therefore, I hereby resign as the president of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee. Will continue to serve the Congress.”
