In a video posted on Twitter, Sidhu, who resigned as Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee chief on Tuesday, said he had joined politics 17 years ago to make the lives of people of the state better and could not compromise on certain things.

He said his fight is for Punjab and he did not hanker after any posts.

Sidhu said he would neither misguide the party high command nor would he allow anyone do so.
