Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu will start campaigning Friday for the Congress in Chhattisgarh where second phase of polling will take place on November 20.

The cricketer-turned-politician is among the several star campaigners selected by the Congress for poll campaigning in Chhattisgarh.

I will start campaigning tomorrow in Chhattisgarh, Sidhu said on Thursday.

The Congress leader said he will be campaigning for three days in the poll-bound state. The first day is packed with five rallies, he said.

Before his visit to the state, Sidhu paid obeisance at the Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu.
