Navjot Kaur Sidhu resigns from primary membership of BJP

Kaur's resignation was expected after her husband left the saffron party and floated his own 'Awaaz-e-Punjab' front

BJP MLA from Punjab Navjot Kaur Sidhu on Saturday resigned from the primary membership of the party, days after her husband Navjot Singh Sidhu had also done so.

Her resignation was accepted by Union minister Vijay Sampla, who is also the Punjab BJP president.

Kaur's resignation was expected after Sidhu, a former BJP MP, left the saffron party and floated his own "Awaaz-e-Punjab" front.

Earlier in the day, she sent her one-line resignation to the party president at Punjab BJP headquarters here.
