Sidhu while leaving the BJP had claimed that the Akalis did not let him enter Punjab, he said. "This is why he stabbed his former self-proclaimed guru Arun Jaitley (Union Finance Minister) in the back by opposing the latters candidature from Amritsar," the SAD president said. Lately like "fellow comedian" Bhagwant Mann of AAP, Sidhu had also started nurturing ambitions of becoming the chief minister of the state, Sukhbir alleged. Terming Sidhu joining Congress a "non-event", the SAD president said the party would soon realise the comedians "real worth". His shelf life in the Congress is also likely to be very short", the SAD president said.
