In the realm of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), speculations are ablaze surrounding the potential return of Navjot Singh Sidhu to the saffron fold. Simultaneously, there are murmurs of another former cricketer, Yuvraj Singh, being fielded by the party in the Gurdaspur parliamentary constituency.
Despite Sidhu’s vocal criticisms of the Centre’s handling of farmer issues, the BJP in the Majha region is abuzz with the belief that he might rejoin his parent party, leveraging his close ties with Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

Navjot Singh Sidhu’s Potential Return to Bharatiya Janata Party
Despite being associated with the Congress, Sidhu has been openly challenging the party’s directives by conducting his own rallies and conflicting with the Punjab leadership.
Somdev Sharma, a BJP functionary, disclosed that discussions are underway regarding Sidhu’s potential return, with details being guarded closely.
Expressing confidence in Sidhu’s potential as a candidate, Sharma noted the historical stronghold of the BJP in the Amritsar Lok Sabha constituency and suggested that Sidhu could be a formidable contender if fielded.

In contrast, Congress representative Raman Bakshi dismissed the possibility of Sidhu rejoining the BJP, emphasizing that a leader constantly shifting allegiances loses credibility and charm. Sources within the Congress hinted at the prospect of fielding Sidhu from a constituency other than Amritsar.
Meanwhile, there are indications that former cricketer Yuvraj Singh might step into the political arena as the BJP’s candidate for the Gurdaspur constituency, possibly replacing the incumbent Sunny Deol.
This speculation gained traction following Yuvraj Singh’s meeting with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari. The BJP has a history of fielding celebrity candidates in Gurdaspur, including Vinod Khanna and Deol. The unfolding political landscape keeps the region abuzz with anticipation and intrigue.
