Harbhajan Singh
Gurdaspur, August 20
The BJP may field cricketer Harbhajan Singh for the Gurdaspur byelection.
Harbhajan said nobody had approached him yet, but he would weigh up his options if approached.
“The time has come for me to do something for the state. Capt Amarinder Singh had approached me to contest a seat from Amritsar district during this year’s Assembly elections. The time was not opportune to enter politics then. Now, things are different. I may jump into politics if asked to do so,” he said.
Party insiders said the BJP would announce its candidate after the Congress took a call on its nominee. — TNS
