Former cricketer Harbhajan Singh is now set to start his new innings in the political arena. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is likely to send former cricketer Harbhajan Singh to Rajya Sabha in the biennial elections from Punjab. According to sources, the Aam Aadmi Party has offered to send Harbhajan Singh to the Rajya Sabha but no official confirmation has been received from the party so far. It is learned that the decision has been taken by Delhi High Command Arvind Kejriwal.
Why Turbanator Harbhajan Singh is AAP’s choice as Rajya Sabha Candidate?
Harbhajan Singh has a great fan following in the world. Being a cricket star from Punjab, he has made the nation proud. Moreover, he belongs to the Sikh community, which is a plus point for Aam Aadmi Party.
AAP needs good candidates in their party to survive in Punjab. It was also emphasized that a sports university would be set up in Jalandhar. Now Harbhajan Singh’s name is likely to be selected as Rajya Sabha candidate, in such a situation it is being said that he is also given the command of the Sports University.
Apart from this, Harbhajan Singh has close contact with Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann. Immediately after the AAP’s victory, Singh took to Twitter to congratulate Mann. “Congratulations to @AamAadmiParty and My friend #BhagwantMann on Becoming our New Chief minister... great to hear that he will be taking oath as the new CM in Bhagat Singh’s village Khatkarkalan...what a picture...this is a proud moment for Mata Ji.”
