New Delhi: Cricketer-turned-
politician Navjot Singh Sidhu
joined the Congress today ahead
of assembly elections in Punjab
after yet another meeting with
Congress vice president Rahul
Gandhi, who welcomed him into
the party. The 58-year-old had
quit the BJP in September 2016,
complaining that he had been
sidelined.
The meeting with Rahul Gandhi
-- the second in four days --
happened at mid-day, during
which the Congress vice-
president welcomed him into the
party. Within minutes, Congress
spokesperson Randeep Singh
Surjewala tweeted, "INC
welcomes S.Navjot Singh Sidhu &
thanks Rahul Gandhiji for
bringing likeminded leaders under
the Congress umbrella".
Mr Sidhu came on board after
lengthy negotiations and several
rounds of meetings with Mr
Gandhi. Read More: Ahead Of Punjab Elections, Navjot Singh Sidhu Joins Congress, Meets Rahul Gandhi
