Navjot Kaur Sidhu Creates New Party, Halts Speculation About Joining BJP After being expelled from the Congress party in early 2026, Dr. Navjot Kaur Sidhu announced the formation of her new political party, the Bharatiya Rashtriya Party (Bharatiya Rashtriya Party), on April 6, 2026. The move came amid ongoing speculation about her potential joining the BJP, but her decision to establish a new party has temporarily paused those discussions. In a social media post, Sidhu stated that the party aims to focus on national-level governance with principles of justice, peace, and service, while also emphasizing the restoration of Punjab’s “old identity” rooted in shared culture, justice, and freedom. Sidhu’s announcement followed her expulsion from the Congress party, which had occurred at the start of 2026. Since then, media outlets had speculated about her possible shift to the BJP, given her political history and the shifting dynamics within Indian politics. However, her decision to launch a new party has redirected attention to her vision for the Bharatiya Rashtriya Party. In her statement, she highlighted the need for a “national alternative” to address the shortcomings of existing political leadership, stating that the party would work to align with the aspirations of the people. The party’s platform includes a commitment to “satya (truth) and prema (love)” as guiding principles, with an emphasis on collective action and grassroots engagement. Sidhu also reiterated her focus on Punjab, vowing to restore the state’s “old identity” through initiatives that promote shared cultural values, justice, and self-reliance. She emphasized that the party would strive to create a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people,” reflecting her desire to connect directly with citizens.#pakistan #punjab #congress_party #navjot_kaur_sidhu #bharatiya_rashtriya_party
