"Navjot Singh Sidhu had won four elections but when there was a wave in favour of Modi sahab, then Sidhu was drowned along with rivals. I was told you cannot fight from Amritsar. You fight from Kurukshetra, you fight from West Delhi. I did not leave my roots then nor did I care about profit and loss."
He added that he quit Rajya Sabha as BJP had asked him to stay away from Punjab and asserted that he will choose the state 'hundred times' above any party or family, but kept everyone guessing on his future course of action.
The cricketer-turned-politician, who made clear his displeasure with BJP, parried queries on whether he would join Aam Aadmi Party, saying he will be standing wherever the interests of Punjab are served.
