When Navjot Singh Sidhu was nominated to the Rajya Sabha recently, many thought the former cricketer has finally been placated by the BJP leadership. Sidhu’s ties with the BJP had strained in the run up to the Lok Sabha elections after the party decided to field Arun Jaitley from Amritsar, a constituency he held from 2004 to 2014. Jaitley, however, lost from the “safe seat” to Captain Amrinder Singh of the Congress. The result was a vindication for Sidhu who was eyeing another victory from this constituency.
The fissures were visible. A sulking Sidhu decided not to campaign for Jaitley during the Lok Sabha elections. Since then, Sidhu was sidelined from the party affairs. He remained low profile, and instead, focused on his TV stint in the popular comedy show hosted by Kapil Sharma.
