Here are some "Sidhuisms" from prior today:

"This is Amarinder's win, not Rahul's (Gandhi) win."

"This is the triumph of my confidence and a New Year blessing to Congress. My pagri (turban) was hanging in the balance."

"This is the destruction of the egotistical pioneers of the Akali Dal. Individuals have smashed the self-importance of the detestable and made "Dharm" triumphant."

No AAP, Navjot Singh Sidhu & Pargat Singh to float Awaaz-e-Punjab

NEW DELHI/CHANDIGARH: BJP leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, who quit his Rajya Sabha seat recently, has announced a new political outfit, Awaaz-e-Punjab, along with suspended Shiroman Akal Dal functionary Pargat Singh.

The announcement has ended speculation of Sidhu joining the Aam Aadmi Party. "We have decided to form a new front to fight all forces which have ruined Punjab. A formal announcement of the new front would be made in the next three-four days at a place to be decided soon,

Sidhu who joined politics after a career in cricket is yet to quit the BJP. Sidhu decided to float the outfit along with like-minded people after his talks with the AAP failed. He held a meeting with Singh and Bains brothers of Ludhiana — Simarjeet Singh Bains and Balwinder Singh Bains — both of who are independent MLAs. AAP was taken aback by the development.

Sidhu had in mid-August met AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal at his residence and discussed plans of joining the party. Kejriwal's remarks on August 19 had indicated that things were not going according to plan when he said Sidhu needs "time to think." The news of Sidhu forming a political front comes at a time when AAP faces a vertical split in Punjab after state convener Sucha Singh Chhotepur was sacked over allegations of bribery.

"We have learnt that Sidhu has formed a political front. It is up to him to comment whether they will launch a party or not," AAP's Punjab state in-charge Sanjay Singh said. Posters showing a photograph of Sidhu, Pargat and Bains brothers together were posted by Awaaz-e-Punjab leaders that said the four have joined hands for the politics of hope and faith

Navjot Singh Sidhu quits RS: Closeness with Badals cost BJP the Punjab ticket

Two-and-half months after he was nominated to Rajya Sabha by the Narendra Modi government, Navjot Singh Sidhu on Monday resigned from, what some may say, a highly coveted position of an MP. Adding insult to injury, Sidhu's wife Navjot Kaur Singh, too resigned from the official post she held in Punjab.

A resignation of this kind, from a nominated member, in such short span is unprecedented and would reflect badly on BJP leadership's judgment.

This, however, is not the first time that Sidhu has tendered his resignation from the Parliament — he quit from Lok Sabha in December 2006 when he was convicted in an 18-year-old road rage case. Again in July 2009, it was reported that Sidhu quit Parliament due to a few developments in the Punjab BJP unit. However, he had sent his resignation letter to the party leadership and not to the Speaker of Lok Sabha.

His resignation was not accepted and he continued to be in the party and in the Parliament as an MP. His resignation from 2006 was soon forgotten because he was soon returned to Parliament after being re-elected from Amritsar.

But this time around, things will be different since the move comes ahead of Punjab Assembly elections. The resignation from Rajya Sabha could well be followed up with a resignation from the party. Technically, as a nominated member of the Rajya Sabha, he is not a BJP member.

Sidhu perhaps thought to be on the right of perceived public morality and quit from the post offered by the BJP before he makes his next move  — join the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and lead its campaign in Punjab, with or without officially being named as its chief ministerial candidate. Sidhu's surprise resignation is undoubtedly a huge setback for the BJP and could prove to be a booster for the AAP.

The AAP had lately courted so many controversies simply because the party leaders, who para trooped from Delhi, didn't know the social and cultural practices of the state and weren't able to relate to their sensitivities. That was one of the reasons why Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal performed a sewa at the Golden temple to "atone" for mistakes committed by the party, albeit in most dramatic fashion, cleaning already cleaned plates.

It's interesting that within minutes of Sidhu's resignation, AAP Punjab convenor Sucha Singh Chhotepur jumped the gun and virtually announced Sidhu's AAP turn:
