A day after Navjot Singh Sidhu, a former BJP Rajya Sabha MP, took swipes at Punjab's ruling Akali Dal and the AAP at the launch of his new political front Awaaz-e-Punjab, his close aide Pargat Singh on Saturday met with AAP's rebel MP Dr Dharamvir Gandhi at his Patiala residence.
The meeting was followed by veteran politician Sucha Singh Chhotepur, who was sacked by AAP as its Punjab unit chief over bribery allegations, also visiting Dr Gandhi.
Sources say formation of a fourth front in Punjab challenging the ruling Akali-BJP, Congress and AAP was discussed at both the meetings.
Dr Gandhi said that he had no plans of leaving AAP but said that he was willing to extend support to all those working sincerely to provide a better alternative to the people of Punjab.
Backing Mr Sidhu's allegations, Dr Gandhi today said, "In light of Kejriwal's perspective towards Punjab and other states, and the way political rights of the state are being violated, I don't think it is wrong to compare his functioning with the East India Company."
