Navjot Singh Sidhu join hands with Pargat Singh to form new political outfit Awaaz-e-Punjab

The former BJP parliamentarian Navjot Singh Sidhu has launched his own party in Punjab ahead of Assembly Elections in the state after he failed to break the deadlock with Aam Aadmi Party.

The cricketer-turned- politician joined hands with former hockey skipper Pargat Singh and brothers Simarjeet Singh Bains and Balwinder Singh Bains to float the new political outfit Awaaz-e-Punjab.  

On the opening day of Monsoon session, Sidhu stunned everyone by resigning from the Rajya Sabha.

Sidhu's wife Navjot Kaur as saying that the new front will be against those working against Punjab. Simrarjit Singh Bains said it's a platform for the people with honesty in their hearts to serve country & end corruption. 

Last month, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had said that Sidhu had not put any pre-conditions on joining the AAP and needed time to think over the issue.

Reports had said that the former BJP leader wanted the AAP to project him as the chief ministerial candidate; however the newbie party was reluctant to do so.
