The Punjabi rapper is likely to contest the polls from Mansa, his hometown.
Sidhu Moosewala, 28, faces many cases accusing him of glorifying guns and violence through his songs. But Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu, who was present when the singer formally joined the party, defended him.
"Why are you asking about issues which are subjudice? Let the people of Punjab decide about him. The media should not decide," Mr Sidhu told reporters.
