Navjot Singh Sidhu was a good cricketer, an average commentator and a very over rated politician. It comes as a surprise to me why any party would even think of pandering to his tantrums ...
3 reasons what Sidhu will be a liability to any political party
1) Not a Team player - All his talk of putting Punjab over self, family and party is just hogwash. When Siddhu walked out from the tour of England abandoning Team India , the message was clear - Siddhu puts himself before anything else. Actions speak louder than words and no matter how loud his Siddhu-isms may be, his actions betray his words.
2) Missing MP - Siddhu has spent more in the studios doing comedy shows than his own constituency. This is very apparent by the repeated protests about his absence from Amritsar. There is very little Siddhu has to show for for his performance as a MP. For his lack of performance he either blames the Congress or the Badals.
3) Item Number - Every political party needs a player who can entertain crowds during a political campaign. Siddhu plays this role perfectly. But there is a difference between a item number in a movie and the main character. Siddhu has little to offer apart from his jokes in terms of governance, policy making, organisation building or leadership. There is a difference between Rakhi Sawant and Rekha and I hope political parties see the difference.
BJP has already over-paid this entertainer and his wife with tickets. The is little ROI in continuing with him , there are better and cheaper entertainers available today.
