“Rahul has proved to be a real ‘Pappu”: Dr Navjot Kaur Sidhu
Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, February 6, 2026: After her expulsion from the Congress party, former MLA Dr Navjot Kaur Sidhu launched a scathing attack on senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of being disconnected from ground realities and surrounded by self-serving loyalists.
In a strongly worded statement shared publicly, Dr Sidhu alleged that Rahul Gandhi considers himself the only honest and knowledgeable leader while remaining unaware of the actual situation on the ground. She claimed that his inner circle keeps him isolated while enjoying power and privileges, taking key decisions in his absence.
Pappu has finally put a stamp on his name. A leader who thinks that he is the only honest and knowledgeable person, totally unaware of the ground realities. People working for him in his inner circle succeed in keeping him in exile and enjoying luxuries of life selling tickets…

Dr Sidhu further alleged that delayed responses to urgent political situations result in irreversible losses, stating that decisions often come months after emergency calls are raised. Questioning the sincerity of Congress supporters in Punjab, she claimed that many are unwilling to work selflessly for the state and are instead focused on personal gains.
Referring to accountability within the party, Dr Sidhu challenged Congress leaders to openly speak against the present government, claiming that many fear exposure of their records. She also described her remarks as “advice to a good friend,” urging Rahul Gandhi to be more mindful, mature, receptive and practical.
