May 31 (Punjab Khabarnama) : Election campaigning in Punjab ended at 6 pm on May 30, the reason for this is the Lok Sabha elections to be held on June 1. During this, in the 83-day campaign, Navjot Singh Sidhu neither asked for votes from anyone nor was seen campaigning on any stage. During this time, the Indian Premier League also ended, people were hoping that he might be seen in Patiala, but this did not happen.
Actually, Sidhu’s full attention is on his wife’s health, because she is battling cancer. Let us tell you that with the start of IPL, his name was also included for commentary and he got away from politics. He was seen sharing IPL posts on his X account, along with this he also kept giving updates about his wife’s health. Sidhu had announced even before the code of conduct came into force that he would not contest the elections. He said that he wants to stay in Punjab and serve Punjab.
Political expert Darshan Singh Sodhi says that he does not seem to be active properly since the last assembly elections. He campaigned in 2017, 19. In this Lok Sabha election, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi were more active.
