Posters for Navjot Singh Sidhu Spring Up in Ludhiana, Remind People of His Pre-poll Promise

New Delhi: Posters asking Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu to quit came up on streets of Ludhiana on Saturday, a month after the leader said that he would resign if Congress president Rahul Gandhi lost his Amethi seat.

"When are you quitting politics? Time to keep your words. We are waiting for your resignation," the posters on Pakhowal road read. The posters, with Sidhu's picture, also mention his promise: "I will quit politics if Rahul Gandhi loses from Amethi."

Gandhi lost from his bastion to Union Minister for Women and Child Development Smriti Irani by over 50,000 votes.

Sidhu, known for his controversial remarks, has also been criticised by Amarinder Singh for damaging Congress prospects with his comments against the Punjab chief minister and the party leadership in the state.

Many on social media also questioned Sidhu on his exit date and advised him to stick to his promises.
