Navjot Kaur Sidhu announced her resignation from the Congress on Saturday, launching a scathing attack on the party’s Punjab chief, Amrinder Singh Raja Warring. She accused him of “selling the party for petty gains” through an understanding with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the state.
Kaur’s resignation comes a month after her suspension from the party over allegations that she claimed there was bribery involved for the chief minister post in Punjab.
“RAJA WARRING, the most horrific, incapable, corrupt president ever. You saved yourself from jail by co-partnering with the CM to destroy Congress. You have sold the party for petty gains with a secret understanding with AAP,” she wrote in a scathing post on X.
RAJA WARRING, The most horrific, incapable, corrupt president ever. You saved yourself from jail by co partening with CM to destroy Congress. You have sold the party for petty gains with a understanding with AAP. You had a suspension letter ready for me but what about nearly 12…

Kaur is the wife of former Punjab Congress chief and ex-cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu.
She further alleged, “You had a suspension letter ready for me, but what about nearly 12 senior Congress leaders who were busy working with [Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh] Majithia to harm Navjot? And you rewarded all of them with big posts for defeating Navjot.”
Kaur said she quit Congress as no promising leader is heard in the party. "I have enough proofs to destroy you but I am not interested because I myself have quit Congress where no promising leader is heard,” she said.
Kaur further questioned why no action was being taken against senior leaders like Bharat Bhushan Ashu, Charanjit Singh Channi, Rajinder Kaur Bhattal, and Dharamvira Gandhi, whom she claimed had openly challenged Warring and the party.
"You (Warring) have just become a laughing stock and people are enjoying your reels. Stop disrespecting Congress leaders who love Navjot. You are more busy in destroying the party rather than making it win. Shame on you for not being sincere with your own party which is your mother party. You have done enough damage," she said.
Kaur had sparked a political controversy last month by claiming that “the one who gives a suitcase of Rs 500 crore becomes the chief minister”. She had also claimed that her husband, Sidhu, would return to active politics if the Congress declared him as the party's chief ministerial face in Punjab. |
