New Delhi: Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh and Navjyot Singh Sidhu have been at odds with each other for quite some time now. A fresh tweet by Sidhu in the order has sparked talks of fresh political realignment in the state.
Sidhu tweeted,” Our opposition AAP has always recognized 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”.

The Congress leader has also posted a video of AAP (Aam Adami Party) MP Bhagwant Mann and Sanjay Singh. He further tweeted,” If the Opposition dares to question me, yet they can’t escape my Pro-People Agenda … This means they have resigned to their fate !!”.

Sidhu’s tweet has triggered speculations of whether the cricketer turned politician is set to join AAP, ahead of Punjab Assembly Elections.
The tweet has come within a week of Amarinder Singh’s visit to Delhi. Singh came to Delhi to meet Congress President Sonia Gandhi. However, he had refused to comment on Sidhu when inquired saying, “I don’t want to comment on Sidhu, I have come here to strengthen the party”.
Meanwhile, the Congress leadership has been trying to end the clash between the leader in view of the assembly elections next year.
Sidhu’s tweets in the last few days appear to be a clear signal to the Congress leadership that he is open to other alternatives if not met with his desirable terms .
Today, Forces bent-upon Punjab’s destruction are clearly visible … 1. Delhi Govt wants Punjab’s lifeline our Thermal Power Plants to shut down in middle of Punjab’s Power crisis leaving Punjabis helpless in this simmering heat & our Farmers suffer in this Paddy-sowing season !!

Sidhu was earlier reported to join AAP in the Punjab Assembly elections 2017. Arvind Kejriwal had even claimed that Sindu was offered a Deputy Chief Minister post, but he had refused and joined Congress.
