Navjot Kaur Sidhu alleged that one gets the post of CM in Congress by paying ₹500 crore. He said that Sidhu will return to active politics only when he is declared the CM candidate, because he does not have that much money. This statement has created a political uproar.
Chandigarh: Sidhu’s wife Navjot Kaur has said that in Congress, those who give a suitcase worth ₹ 500 crore are made the chief ministerial candidate. We always talk about Punjab, but we do not have ₹500 crore to sit on the Chief Minister’s chair. Therefore, Navjot Singh Sidhu will return to active politics only if the party declares him as the chief ministerial candidate.
Statement created political uproar
His statement regarding the 2027 elections has created a huge political stir. BJP has demanded that this is a serious allegation on the Congress leadership and the party should give clarification on this.
Margaret Alva had also made a similar allegation
Earlier, Karnataka Congress leader Margaret Alva had also made a similar allegation. BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi taunted that in the 2008 Karnataka Assembly elections, the party’s tickets were sold for money to the highest bidder. This is proof of how deeply Congress is immersed in corruption. Active in politics since 2004, Sidhu was first in BJP, then joined Congress, later formed his own party and then returned to Congress.
