Sidhu Family Bids Farewell to Congress: Dr. Navjot Kaur Sidhu Expelled, BJP ‘Homecoming’ Buzz Grows

Chandigarh, February 8, 2026
A major political bombshell rocked Punjab today as Congress high command took strict action, expelling former MLA Dr. Navjot Kaur Sidhu from the party amid prolonged tensions. AICC General Secretary Bhupesh Baghel confirmed the decision.

Scathing Attack on Rahul Gandhi

Post-expulsion, Dr. Navjot Kaur launched a direct offensive against Congress leadership:

Derogatory Term: Used “Pappu” for Rahul Gandhi, sparking massive outrage in Congress circles
Corruption Charges: Reiterated claims that Punjab Congress CM face decided by ₹500 crore “suitcase” deals
Raja Warring Attack: Leveled serious corruption allegations against Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring

Will Navjot Singh Sidhu Return to BJP?

Political analysts see clear signals of Sidhu family’s next move:

PM Modi Praise: Navjot Kaur recently praised PM Narendra Modi and BJP policies repeatedly
Homecoming Speculation: Sidhu began his political career with BJP; with Congress ties severed, return buzz intensifies
Navjot’s Silence: While Navjot Singh Sidhu remains quiet, it’s seen as preparation for a major political announcement

Sidhu Family’s Rebellious History

The family has a track record of defying party leadership:

2012-2016: Challenged own Akali-BJP government while in BJP
2017: Joined Congress just before elections
Captain Clash: Open confrontation with then-CM Capt. Amarinder Singh led to his ouster
Channi Government: Remained unhappy even with Charanjit Singh Channi as CM

With personal attacks on Rahul Gandhi, Congress doors seem permanently closed for Sidhu family. All eyes now on whether Navjot Singh Sidhu will don the “saffron robes” again to restart from Amritsar.
