Former Bharatiya Janata Party leader Navjot Singh Sidhu is likely to officially join the Congress Party today.

According to sources, Sidhu wanted to join the Congress in presence of party vice-president Rahul Gandhi but since he is out of country, he decided the date accordingly.

The Central Election Committee of Congress for Punjab is scheduled on January 10 and the remaining 40 party candidates will be declared.

The Punjab Congress is waiting for Rahul to return from his New Year trip abroad to get the party's campaign rolling.

Both Sidhu and his wife had quit the BJP last year over differences with the top leadership.
