"I have been insisting that Sidhu will hardly be able to form a credible and viable political party and today I have vindicated," he told reporters when asked about Sindhu opting out of the political contest.
Amarinder remarked, "He (Sidhu) must have realised that he fits better in a comedy show than anywhere else, including politics".
Days after announcing the launch of Aawaaz-e-Punjab, Sidhu said they have decided against forming a political party as it is too short a time to prepare for polls, but added that they are open to "alliance" for betterment of Punjab.
"The forum welcomes any alliance for the betterment of Punjab and will not be a political party. May Punjab, Punjabiyat and every Punjabi win," he said.
"The past is the best prophet to predict the future - the minimum time taken by a new party to win a state is almost two years...Three months is too short a time for this herculean task," he said.
