Cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu along with former Indian hockey team captain Pargat Singh launched ‘Awaaz-e-Punjab’, the new political front in Chandigarh today, which will contest the Punjab assembly elections next year.

Elections to 117 assembly seats are likely to be held in January or early February next year.

While the Bains brothers were independent candidates who were leaning towards AAP, Pargat Singh was recently expelled from Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on charges of indulging in anti-party activities

Sidhu had resigned from the Rajya Sabha on 18 July, fuelling speculation that he may join the AAP.
