AAP lauds Sidhu for taking firm stand against BJP

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday lauded the guts of Navjot Singh Sidhu, who took a bold step against all odds by resigning from the Rajya Sabha.

AAP leader Bhagwant Mann lauded Sidhu's courage for taking a stand against the system.

"Sidhu ji has proved that he is not like others who failed to leave their position due to lust for power. We welcome such endeavours," he said.

According to reports, Sidhu, who resigned from the Rajya Sabha yesterday, might join the AAP in Punjab.

The former cricketer, who was thrice the Lok Sabha member from the BJP, was asked to step away from contesting the polls in Amritsar during the 2014 general election to make way for fellow party member Arun Jaitley.
