When asked if anybody demanded money from them, she said nobody has demanded it, but the one who gives a suitcase of Rs 500 crore can become the CM.’’

When asked if the BJP gives him this responsibility, will Sidhu rejoin the BJP, she said, "I cannot comment on his behalf.’’

Former Punjab Congress president Sidhu has not been participating in the party's events and activities for the past many months, and did not campaign in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

He had made a comeback to cricket commentary in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

In April, Sidhu launched his YouTube channel, Navjot Sidhu Official, for sharing his life experiences, talking about cricket, commentary, motivation, and lifestyle.

When Sidhu was asked about returning to active politics, he had then said that time would tell, adding that he joined politics for people's welfare and it was never a business for him.

Sidhu has resigned from the post of Punjab Congress chief following the party's drubbing in the 2022 state assembly elections.

He had contested the high-profile Amritsar (East) assembly seat, but lost to Jeevan Jyot Kaur of AAP.

The former cricketer was elected as MLA in the 2017 assembly election from the Amritsar (East) assembly segment. Earlier, he was elected thrice as Member of Parliament from Amritsar, while his wife represented this assembly segment from 2012 to 2017.
