Chandigarh, December 15
Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Navjot Singh Sidhu posted a photo with Indian cricketing star Harbhajan Singh on Wednesday, setting off speculation about the veteran off-spinner joining the party ahead of the state assembly polls.
“Picture loaded with possibilities …. With Bhajji the shining star,” Sidhu, a former international cricketer-turned-politician, wrote in the caption that accompanied the picture.
Later when reporters asked Sidhu about the picture, he said, "Listen to me, this photo explains everything. What I said, loaded with possibilities, there are many possibilities and they are possible."
The Punjab Assembly elections are due early next year.
A few days ago, Harbhajan Singh had dismissed speculation that he and former cricketer Yuvraj Singh could join the BJP as "fake news".
