All is well, I continue to be in BJP: Sidhu - Sakshi Post

After her Facebook announcement quitting BJP on April Fools' Day, BJP's Chief Parliamentary Secretary in Punjab Navjot Kaur Sidhu on Monday said all is well and she continues to be in the party. Sidhu, wife of former Amritsar MP and cricketer Navjot Sidhu, said her grievances have been addressed.

Party sources said she was placated by top BJP leaders. The sources said Sidhu, along with her husband and former MP, held a closed-door meeting over dinner with BJP general secretary (organisation) Ram Lal here and sorted out the issues. All is well with me and I continue to be in the party," she said, adding that her issues were only relating to the people and development of her constituency, Amritsar.
The sources said Sidhu and her husband were miffed as they felt the party was ignoring them. The two have also had problems with the Akali Dal in Punjab, with which BJP is in a ruling alliance. Her husband was also reportedly miffed after the party asked to him vacate his Lok Sabha seat for Arun Jaitley in 2014. Jaitley, however, lost to Congress leader Amarinder Singh in Amritsar.
Sidhu had on April 1 announced her resignation from BJP and posted on her Facebook page, "Finally, I have resigned from BJP. The burden is over. " In a scathing attack on Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, she said, "Badal Sahib, you promised moon to the people of Amritsar... Don't deny them basic needs. Don't abuse the word 'daughter' and 'sister'. I am ready to vacate my seat for your relatives." Asked about her comments on Facebook on April Fools' Day, she said she had never quit the party and just wanted money for development.
