In an exclusive interview with India Today TV, Punjab Congress president Navjot Singh Sidhu's wife and former MLA Navjot Kaur Sidhu spoke about the Congress's survey for a chief ministerial candidate. She said, "We don't have a problem if Congress has done a survey. It' a party's strategy; they need feedback. But it should be done well. As a strategy of the Congress, it should not be partial."

Navjyot Kaur said: "We thought work can be done as a minister. But one can work only when s/he has power in hand. Navjot Singh Sidhu refused to join a party where he was being made the CM face. We are not opportunists that we will hop parties. We have worked honestly."
