Navjot Singh Sidhu today credited his victory and that of his Congress party to Rahul Gandhi, Captain Amarinder Singh and Priyanka Gandhi, and launched into his characteristic stream of quotable quotes. "I promise to Sonia Gandhi that we will sacrifice anything to restore the glory of Punjab," the cricketer-turned-politician told reporters.
He described the Punjab contest as a battle for "Congress's identity and its Pagdi (honour)" - he touched his own bright yellow pagdi or turban.
"Arvind Kejriwal lost because his niyat (intention) was not pure. He wanted power for himself," Mr Sidhu said, taking a dig at the AAP chief and Delhi Chief Minister.
