Cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu on Sunday joined the Congress ahead of the assembly polls in Punjab after meeting party vice-president Rahul Gandhi.

Sidhu's wife Navjot Kaur had joined the Congress in November last year, leading to speculation that he may follow suit.

The 53-year-old is going to contest from Amritsar-East Assembly seat, party leaders said.

“Known for straight talking, ideological commitment to the cause of nationalism as also wit and humour, we are certain that the Congress party will be immensely strengthened in Punjab and elsewhere with the entry of Sidhu,” said the statement posted on the party Twitter handle.

Navjot Kaur along with Pargat Singh, a former Akali Dal legislator who had joined hands with Sidhu to form the outfit Awaaz-E Punjab, had joined the Congress after the Sidhus left the BJP.

Here are a few of his impressive speeches:

This one was back when he was a Modi loyalist.

Earlier, there was speculation that the couple may join Aam Aadmi Party, but their talks with AAP leadership failed.

Punjab goes to polls on 4 February.
