Punjab Congress president and MP Amarinder Singh Raja Warring on Sunday dismissed party leader Navjot Kaur Sidhu’s claims of selling the party for personal gains, questioning her credibility and standing in the party.

Reacting to her remarks, Warring said he did not want to comment on her statement, pointing out that she is no longer associated with the Congress. “What resignation is she talking about when she is not even in the party? She was expelled from the party earlier," he said.

He added that while he respects her, he expressed concern over her comments. “I respect her a lot, but I think she needs mental treatment. I don’t want to say anything more about her. When a person’s mental state is not right, then you shouldn’t get angry about what they’re saying," Warring said.

Kaur was suspended by the Congress from its primary membership last month, after she sparked a political row with her “Rs 500 crore for the chief minister’s chair" remark. She is the wife of former Punjab Congress chief and former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu.

The former MLA had accused Warring of striking a deal with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab for personal gains.

“RAJA WARRING, The most horrific, incapable, corrupt president ever. You saved yourself from jail by co partnering with CM to destroy Congress. You have sold the party for petty gains with a understanding with AAP.

“You had a suspension letter ready for me but what about nearly 12 senior Congress leaders who were busy in working with (Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh) MAJITHIA to harm NAVJOT. And you rewarded all of them with big posts for defeating NAVJOT," Kaur alleged in a post on X.

Targeting Warring, she said: “I have enough proofs to destroy you but I am not interested because I myself have quit Congress where no promising leader is heard."

Kaur also accused Warring of fielding candidates on her seat to ensure her defeat.

“Where is your action against senior leaders like (Bharat Bhushan) ASHU, (Charanjit Singh) CHANNI, (Rajinder Kaur) BHATTAL ji, Dr (Dharamvira) Gandhi ji and many more who have openly challenged you and your party? “You have just become a laughing stock and people are enjoying your reels. Stop disrespecting Congress leaders who love Navjot. You are more busy in destroying the party rather than making it win. Shame on you for not being sincere with your own party which is your mother party. You have done enough damage," she said.

Kaur triggered a political furore last month by claiming that “one who gives a suitcase of Rs 500 crore becomes the chief minister".

Kaur was elected as an MLA from Amritsar East in 2012 on a BJP ticket and served as chief parliamentary secretary before later joining the Congress.
