In a video posted on Twitter, Sidhu, who resigned as Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee chief on Tuesday, said he had joined politics 17 years ago to make the lives of people of the state better and could not compromise on certain things.

He said his fight is for Punjab and he did not hanker after any posts.

Sidhu said he would neither misguide the party high command nor would he allow anyone do so.

He said those very officers and the system that was responsible for all the misery in Punjab were back. “Where have our promises gone, but I will continue to fight against the wrong,” he added.

Sidhu gave an indication of his future political course, though he did not clearly spell out his options.
