NEW DELHI, Sep 2 (TOI) : In a kind of setback for AAP ahead of next year's assembly polls in Punjab, former BJP MP Navjot Sindhu has floated a new front called "Aawaaz-e-Punjab."

"Along with Pargat Singh and Bains brothers, we have formed a front," Navjot Kaur Sidhu said.

The front formed by Navjot Singh Sidhu, Pargat Singh and Bains brothers will be called "Aawaaz-e-Punjab". The 'Aawaaz-e-Punjab' will be formally launched next week, reports said.

Earlier, there were reports that Navjot Singh Sidhu may join AAP.

Amid reports that Sidhu wanted to be the chief ministerial candidate of AAP, Arvind Kejriwal had on August 19 said that the cricketer- turned-politician had not put any pre-condition and just needed "time to think" about his future plans.

"Would Navjot Sidhu ji join AAP -- lot of rumours? Its my duty to put forward our side. We have greatest greatest regard for this cricket legend. He met me last week. Didn't put any pre-condition. He needs time to think. Lets respect that," Kejriwal said in a tweet.

Kejriwal further tweeted : "He is a very good human being and a cricket legend. My respect for him would continue whether he joins or not."
