NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday sought to scotch “rumours” on Navjot Singh Sidhu’s possible induction in Aam Aadmi Party, saying the cricketer- turned-politician has not put any pre-condition and just needs “time to think”.

Kejriwal said his respect for Sidhu, who met him last Friday at his residence, will continue irrespective of whether “he joins (AAP) or not”.

Earlier, the AAP chief had said that talks of Sidhu becoming the party’s face in Punjab were “premature”.

“Wud Navjot Sidhu ji join AAP- lot of rumours? Its my duty to put forward our side. We have greatest greatest regard for this ckt legend. He met me last week.
