CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Former cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu recently shared a photograph of his meeting with Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, reigniting speculation over his return to active politics.
In the caption, Sidhu described Priyanka as his “mentor, lighthouse and guiding angel” and expressed gratitude to her and Rahul Gandhi for their support during “rough and tough times.”
Sidhu had kept a relatively low profile after serving a jail term in the 1988 road-rage case, stepping back from day-to-day party affairs.
Meanwhile, his wife, Dr. Navjot Kaur Sidhu, has been politically active and recently announced her intention to contest the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections from Amritsar.
Political observers believe this meeting could signal Sidhu’s strategic reentry into Congress affairs, possibly influencing the power balance in Punjab ahead of elections.
The timing of this move has generated intrigue within party circles about new roles, responsibilities, or assignments that may be offered to Sidhu by the Congress high command. The symbolism of the meeting with Gandhi leads many to read it as a renewed bid for relevance—and influence—within the party.
