"Arvind Kejriwal did not even want me to fight the MLA election. He said you campaign, we will make your wife fight election, make her the minister," Navjot Sidhu said
Cricketer-turned politician Navjot Singh Sidhu today explained how his talks with the Aam Aadmi Party fell through, saying there was no talk of ticket for him. During their meeting, party chief Arvind Kejriwal only wanted him to "campaign," he said, adding, "How can I change the system without being in the system?"
"Kejriwal did not even want me to fight the MLA election. He said you campaign, we will make your wife fight election, make her the minister," he said, declaring the AAP chief as "insecure".
Mr Kejriwal, he said, sent party leaders Durgesh Pathak and Sanjay Singh to his house to recruit him. "I did not meet them. My wife insisted that you must meet. I met and asked them, 'What do you have? Should I leave Rajya Sabha? Do you have Rajya Sabha?'"
They decided on a meeting and Mr Sidhu went to Mr Kejriwal, and was told that his role would only involve campaigning.
