Captain Amarinder Singh has reacted upon his decision saying Sidhu was unfit for Punjab. On the other hand, denying that Navjot was upset from new entries Chief Minister of state Channi said “ It will be settled if he is upset…though he is not upset with me.”

Upon the ongoing crisis in the Congress Party, the opposition party AAP targeted Channi for his resignation by saying He (Navjot) could not bear that a leader from the Dalit community is sitting on the higher post.

However, Navjot Singh Sidhu mentioned in the letter that he is not leaving the party and will continue to serve the party and will contest for the CM post in Assembly elections next year.
