Navjot Kaur Sidhu suspended from Congress party over her controversial statement
New Delhi: Former Congress MLA and Navjot Singh Sidhu's wife, Navjot Kaur Sidhu, has been suspended from the party's primary membership, hours after she claimed that securing the chief minister’s post in the state allegedly requires a “₹500-crore suitcase.”
Former Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu's wife, Navjot Kaur Sidhu, had triggered a row on Saturday by claiming that "one who gives a suitcase of Rs 500 crore becomes the CM".
She had said her husband would return to active politics if the Congress declares him as the party's chief ministerial face in Punjab.
Following her statement, the BJP and AAP claimed that her comments exposed the "ugly truth" of how the grand old party functions, and the "money bag politics" it indulges in.
