Even as Navjot Singh Sidhu (53) is gearing up for a new political innings in Punjab after resigning from the Rajya Sabha, the controversial cricketer-turned-politician on Wednesday (Oct 26) was hit for a six by the Supreme Court.
The Apex Court said Sidhu would face trial in case involving alleged wrongdoings during 2009 Lok Sabha elections. His Congress rival has accused him of violating the poll expenditure limit of Rs.25 lakh. He also alleged that he had officers transferred.
In 2009, the cricketer-turned-politician won from Amritsar. He was in the BJP at the time. Ahead of the election in Punjab early next year, Sidhu has floated a new outfit, the Awaaz-e-Punjab. He quit the BJP last month.
