Former cricketer Navjot Sidhu, who is away from politics, said that many people in Punjab dreamed of becoming the Chief Minister, but they lost. Today wherever I go there is Sidhu Sahib…Sidhu Sahib. Sidhu was talking to a private channel.
Sidhu further said that going to jail was my best time. I went to jail for political reasons. Gandhi, Bhagat Singh and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru went to jail. He is our hero. No one can be imprisoned for 2 days under Article 323. Constable in this department grants bail on the spot. Then he also left me with one thousand rupees. The case was later reopened. There burdened me.
Sidhu said that even today I am dedicated to Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi. Even today I stand by my promise to him. Recently his wife Dr. Navjot Kaur Sidhu along with daughter Rabia met Amritsar BJP leader Taranjit Singh Sandhu. After which there were talks of his return to BJP.

Navjot Singh Sidhu will soon be seen in comedian Kapil Sharma's 'The Great Indian Kapil Show'. Navjot Singh Sidhu has shared a video on his social media account. On which he wrote – The Home Run. Not only this, he wrote on the shared video – Sidhu ji is back.
My wife was moved to tears when she was diagnosed with cancer Sidhu said that there was a barrack in the jail. It was getting cold there. Here I meditated for 16 hours. Meanwhile I came to know that my wife has cancer. Then tears came to my eyes. Had he stayed in jail for 2 more months, things would have been different.
After this I inquired about my wife's diet. By God's grace he is now healthy. Those who have the will to work will definitely find those things. One should always think big, it is always true.

The winners did nothing for Punjab Sidhu claimed that BJP people do not want to break ties with the Badal family. I had differences with the BJP on many issues. So, I chose Punjab. Arun Jaitley sir was my elder brother. When Jaitley Sahib came to Punjab, he advised me to contest from Kurukshetra. He also said that you will win the election by 2 lakh votes. I tried to explain to him, people have a lot of anger against him (against Badal).
I made Amritsar with my hard work. I was not listened to. One thing my mother told me is that a person who does not keep his word is doomed. I stand by my words even today. I fought with my government for Punjab.
Many times one loses after winning and wins after losing. Those who won did nothing for Punjab. I kept speaking against my government. I told Punjab Chief Minister Capt. Amarinder Singh that if you do something for the state, the next 7 generations will remember you, but everyone was busy filling their own homes.
A road map is needed to take Punjab forward Sidhu said that I consider politics as a mission. Now it has become a business. I have thrived in this business and will continue to do so. A proper road map is needed to take Punjab forward. It is necessary to have a proper budget provision for it. Freebies were promised, should they be told how they will be delivered?
Those who said they will earn 40 to 50 thousand rupees from liquor, 10 thousand crore rupees, 30 thousand crore rupees from mining, where is their 60-70 thousand crore rupees? Government is taking huge loan every month. Punjab has to decide who it is with?
