Navjot Kaur Sidhu, wife of former Punjab Congress President and former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu, has been expelled from the party. Recently, Navjot Singh Sidhu made a statement critical of party leaders, which led to her suspension from the party.

Congress has taken significant action against Navjot Kaur Sidhu. She has been suspended from the party. This action was taken against Navjot Kaur for her controversial remarks about party leaders. A few days ago, she made a statement about ₹500 crore for the Chief Minister's post, which sparked controversy. Now, Congress has taken action against Navjot Kaur Sidhu and revoked her primary membership. However, after the controversy surrounding the statement escalated, Navjot Kaur clarified that her statement had been distorted.

The one who gives a suitcase worth Rs 500 crore becomes the Chief Minister... The secret fell on this statement.

It is worth noting that Navjot Kaur is the wife of Navjot Singh Sidhu, the former president of the Punjab Congress unit. On Saturday, he reportedly said, "Whoever gives a suitcase of ₹500 crore becomes the Chief Minister." Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Navjot Kaur said that if the Congress declares her the party's Chief Ministerial candidate in Punjab, her husband will return to active politics. Punjab elections are due in 2027.

After the uproar over the statement, he said – my statement was presented in a distorted manner.

Following the uproar over her statement, Congress leader Navjot Kaur Sidhu clarified that her comments had been distorted. Kaur wrote on the social media platform X on Sunday evening, "I am shocked at how my straightforward statement has been twisted."

She further wrote, "All I said was that the Congress party never asked us for anything. When I was asked whether Navjot could become the Chief Ministerial candidate from another party, I said we don't have any money to offer anyone for the Chief Ministerial position."

The Rs 500 crore statements was given after meeting the Governor.

He also said that he doesn't have money to give to any party, but he can make Punjab a "golden state." "We always talk about Punjab and Punjabiyat... but we don't have Rs 500 crore to give to sit on the chief minister's chair," he told reporters after meeting Governor Gulab Chand Kataria to discuss several issues, including the alleged deteriorating law and order situation in the state.
