Amid speculations of former Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu rejoining the BJP, he has now made a new comment.

Sidhu said that the BJP government sitting at the center is building palaces of lies all over the country and he will never leave the Congress nor face the lying BJP.

Dismissing talks of joining the BJP, Sidhu said that his father Bhagwant Singh loved the Congress which was his ideal because only the ideology of the Congress could keep the country united, hence he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party. Will never knock.

When asked about the February 11 Congress rally, he said that he would not go to the rally uninvited but would welcome Mallikarujan Kharge, President of Kull Hind Congress, with open eyes.
