It’s back to square one for Navjot Singh Sidhu. The former BJP MP first held parleys with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), later announced his own front (Awaaz-e-Punjab) and followed it with several rounds of talks with the Congress. Now, he is again negotiating with AAP.

Sidhu met AAP leaders Durgesh Pathak and Gurpreet Singh Waraich in New Delhi last night. The talks, however, remained inconclusive.

Arvind Kejriwal, party’s national convener and Delhi Chief Minister, had told The Tribune during a visit to the state recently that AAP was in talks with Sidhu.

Waraich, party’s state party affairs incharge Sanjay Singh and Punjab Dialogue head Kanwar Sandhu confirmed the development. However, none of them could specify what Sidhu was seeking.

Sources said Sidhu had talked about the possibility of getting the Deputy Chief Minister’s post and wanted to know whether the CM candidate had been finalised.

The former cricketer had told reporters in Chandigarh last month that he was tired of being used as a showpiece by political parties. However, he decided not to turn Awaaz-e-Punjab into a political party for the Assembly poll.
