Salute Sidhu ji for his courage: Kejriwal says after former's resignation from RS

New Delhi, July 18 (IBNS): Arvind Kejriwal praised BJP leader Navjot Singh Sidhu after the latter relinquished his Rajya Sabha post, in a major political move, on Monday.

Calling it a courageous decision, the Delhi CM said, "People can give their rt hand for an RS seat. Ever seen a sitting RS MP resigning to save his state? I salute Sidhu ji for his courage."

He was a BJP nominated member to the Upper House of the Parliament.

The former Indian cricketer was nominated to the Rajya Sabha in April.

Sidhu was directed by the party to give up the Amritsar constituency for Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to fight during the Lok Sabha polls during 2014.

Sidhu had represented the constituency for 10 years.

Jaitley was defeated in the polls.

Meanwhile, sources close to Sidhu told Indian Express that he might be joining the Aam Aadmi Party.

Punjab will go for Assembly polls next year.

The AAP is campaigning aggressively in the state for the past few months.
