Chandigarh, 7 Dec, 2025(Yes Punjab News)
AAP Punjab General Secretary and Media In-charge Baltej Pannu launched a scathing attack on the Congress party following the sensational revelations made by Navjot Kaur Sidhu after her meeting with the Punjab Governor. Pannu said her statements have exposed the “ugly truth” of how Congress functions, how leadership is decided, and how Punjab’s interests are sidelined for personal ambitions and monetary deals.
Pannu said Navjot Kaur Sidhu made two explosive claims, Navjot Singh Sidhu will re-enter Punjab politics only if Congress first declares him as the Chief Ministerial face and The Sidhus do not have ₹500 crore to pay, implying that becoming CM in Congress requires a ₹500 crore deal.
Calling these remarks “deeply disturbing,” Pannu questioned whether the Congress leadership truly sells the CM face for ₹500 crore. “If Sidhu claims they don’t have ₹500 crore, then who pays this amount? Where does this money go? To the state unit president? To high command? To Rahul Gandhi or Kharge? The people of Punjab deserve answers,” he said.
Pannu reminded that Navjot Singh Sidhu has been Punjab Congress president, MP, MLA and Cabinet Minister. “Were these posts also purchased? Was he appointed Congress President after paying a reduced amount? How many crores does one need to become Deputy CM or a Minister in Congress?” he asked.
Slamming Sidhu’s conditional politics, Pannu said it is shocking that the Sidhus claim Punjab will get its “golden days” only if Sidhu is made CM face. “If Congress does not announce him, Punjab can suffer, this is their message. Is Punjab just a bargaining chip for the Navjot Sidhu?” he said.
Pannu ridiculed Sidhu’s history of theatrics, from flashy press conferences to the failed “Jittega Punjab” channel, questioning why, if Sidhu had a magical formula for Punjab’s revival, he never implemented it while being Minister or Congress President.
Contrasting this with AAP’s leadership, Pannu said CM Bhagwant Mann, Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and many others left their careers to serve people, while Congress leaders demand posts first and service later.
Pannu demanded Congress clarify immediately: “Does becoming CM require ₹500 crore? Has Congress collected this money from the six–seven CM aspirants roaming in the state?”
