New Delhi : BJP leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Monday said he resigned from the Rajya Sabha because he was asked to stay away from Punjab.
“I won’t betray the people of Punjab. I resigned because I was being told to stay away from Punjab,” he told journalists outside the Commonwealth Games Village.
Mr. Sidhu, however, evaded questions on whether he will be joining the AAP or quitting the BJP.
“Interest of Punjab is top priority for me and I will continue to serve the people of the State,” he said.
Notably, BJP Punjab president Vijay Sampla has said the party had not yet received Mr. Sidhu’s resignation.
Last week, Sidhu resigned from the Rajya House, fuelling rumours that he may join the AAP.
