Political Turmoil: Navjot Kaur Sidhu's Explosive Allegations

Suspended Congress member Navjot Kaur Sidhu, wife of former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu, has requested security from Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann after alleging political corruption. Accusing the government of abetting the liquor and mining mafia, Sidhu criticized both Mann and former CM Amarinder Singh for governance failures.

Navjot Kaur Sidhu, recently suspended from the Congress following her controversial 'Rs 500 crore for the chief minister's chair' comment, has made a public appeal for security from Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. Sidhu's remarks triggered a significant political reaction.

Sidhu has leveled allegations against Chief Minister Mann, asserting his involvement in facilitating illegal activities concerning the liquor and mining sectors. She questioned the Chief Minister's reticence regarding the issues she raised with Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria and critiqued both current and former leadership for malpractice.

Navjot Kaur is not just a political figure; she is also the spouse of Navjot Singh Sidhu, former Punjab Congress president and ex-India cricketer. Her escalating accusations have further intensified political friction in the state, as she questions oversight on land deals and broader governance issues involving key projects affecting Punjab's development.
