Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said that former BJP MP Navjot Singh Sidhu would have spoken against Punjab's drug menace if he went to the state.

Kejriwal made the comment shortly after Sidhu took on the Bharatiya Janata Party, which he has quit saying the party had told him to stay away from Punjab.

Alleging that the BJP was trying to "protect" someone, the Aam Aadmi Party leader asked: "Sidhu would have spoken against drugs, if he went to Punjab. BJP prevented him. Who was BJP trying to protect? Shocking."
