The political landscape of Punjab has witnessed a significant tremor. Dr. Navjot Kaur Sidhu, a distinguished Congress leader and former state president Navjot Singh Sidhu's wife, has resigned from the Congress party, stirring fresh waves in the state's political waters. She publicized her resignation via a post on social media platform X, launching a direct attack on Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring.
Dr. Sidhu claims Raja Warring has weakened the party's fabric for personal political ambitions. She accuses him of fostering internal divisions within Punjab Congress, sidelining honest and devoted leaders, while rewarding a select few with organizational roles.
She further alleged intentional sabotage of her electoral prospects and criticized the party leadership's silence over senior leaders who openly challenged the organization. Dr. Sidhu asserts she possesses evidence to support her allegations, yet harbors no intent to inflict harm.
Allegations Against Party Leaders
In her post, she articulated, “I am leaving a party where the voices of competent and future-ready leaders are stifled.” She expressed dismay over the disciplinary decay and leadership weakness within Congress.

Notably, Dr. Navjot Kaur Sidhu had previously lodged severe allegations against several senior Punjab Congress leaders. She publicly stated that Navjot Singh Sidhu would return to active politics only if the party declared him as the chief ministerial candidate, a statement that deepened the internal crisis. Rumors suggested a potential meeting with Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to mediate differences, which never transpired.
Following her resignation, there is widespread speculation in political circles that Dr. Sidhu might lean towards joining the BJP in the future, although she has not made any official statements. This is seen as a major political setback for Congress in Punjab.
