Sacked AAP leader Sucha Singh Chhotepur to approach Navjot Sidhu to float political party

Chandigarh, Sep 16: Sucha Singh Chhotepur, who was sacked by AAP as its Punjab convenor over a purported sting video, today said he will approach former BJP Rajya Sabha MP Navjot Singh Sidhu and suspended AAP MP Dharamvira Gandhi to float a political party to a give the “best alternative” to the people of Punjab. “My supporters and volunteers have suggested that I set up a new political platform with those with a clean image and who are committed to saving Punjab,” he told PTI after concluding his ‘Punjab Parivartan Yatra’ at Faridkot district today. Chhotepur, who played a key role in building Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab, had launched the initiative on September 6 to collect suggestions of his supporters as regards his future course of action.
“I will meet (Navjot Singh) Sidhu, (Dharamvira) Gandhi and other like-minded people to bring them together and have one political party to provide the best alternative to the people of Punjab in the (2017) Assembly election,” he said. However, he said he was yet to meet Sidhu or Independent MLAs from Ludhiana, the Bains brothers. “But, I have met Pargat Singh once,” he said. “My efforts will be to bring all these people on one platform now,” Chhotepur said, adding that more like-minded people will be roped in to form a party as soon as possible. Recently, cricketer-turned-politician Sidhu, former captain of the Indian hockey team and MLA Pargat Singh and the Bains brothers — Simarjit Singh Bains and Balwinder Singh Bains — launched ‘Awaaz-e-Punjab’, a political front.

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
