Harbhajan's political debut: lots of spins and googlies!

Recently, the way harbhajan singh has entered the field of politics after retiring from cricket, it is shocking. In the last six months, he was seen hanging around the congress and the BJP. At first it was thought that he would join the congress, then the news came that he could join the bjp anytime. Now like a googly, he has stood on the side of the Aam Aadmi Party.



The politics of the country is changing with every passing day since 2014. The era is of nationalist politics or to say that it is time to show oneself as a nationalist. Because it is very important in the current political scenario. So all the unexpected things have happened. How? 



The answer lies in cricketer harbhajan singh and his political debut. 41-year-old off-spinner harbhajan singh retired from international cricket on 24 december 2021. Harbhajan's attitude has been like being vocal on different issues. It was assumed then that harbhajan singh would enter politics. 


But the way he not only got a place in the aam aadmi party, but as he is being sent to the rajya sabha, there has been an increase in the political circles. It is not wrong to say as luck would have Harbhajan that it is the same that an all-rounder makes his first ODI debut and also scored a century in his first match and also took 5 wickets.



 Harbhajan's going to the rajya sabha from the aam aadmi party camp, where some people are not being embraced on one side. So there are also speculations that if god is kind to Harbhajan today, then Navjot Singh Sidhu is a big reason behind this.



How Sidhu has become Harbhajan's charioteer will be discussed. But before that it is very important for us to understand that after cricket, Harbhajan himself had prepared the political ground for himself. Harbhajan knew that if there is scope after cricket, it is politics. And because Harbhajan probably had to do politics in punjab itself, his preparation was already there.


It is a matter of Harbhajan coming into politics and joining the party, so it is also necessary to tell that Harbhajan could have gone to the bjp to go, but there is not much scope of bjp in punjab, so he changed his intentions.



At the time when Harbhajan retired, the command of punjab was with the congress, so speculations were also made that Harbhajan could also go into the erosion of Congress. people could not even guess that a picture went viral on the internet in which Harbhajan and Navjot Singh Sidhu were seen together.




So the interesting thing is that, this was the same time when it was also said that BJP's eyes are on harbhajan singh and Yuvraj Singh. This discussion was not a mere rumour, all the media outlets had raised the statement of a senior bjp leader very loudly in which it was said that Harbhajan and Yuvraj are on the radar of the bharatiya janata party and in future the country will be full of some big news.


Harbhajan was with the farmers not with the government, due to which he had to data-face criticism from the people supporting the government or the new agriculture bill. It is to be known that during that era of the farmers movement, that instagram post of Harbhajan also became a matter of curiosity among the people, in which he shared a picture and emphadata-sized that farmers are not terrorists.



There has been mention of Harbhajan being against the government regarding the agriculture bill and then going to the rajya sabha with the flag of the Aam Aadmi Party. At the same time, we have also told that Harbhajan had to do politics only in punjab and at the same time he was closely observing the entire punjab elections. So when Harbhajan saw the condition of the congress in punjab, he turned to the Aam Aadmi Party.



Bhagwant Mann is close to Harbhajan and because the aam aadmi party, which is doing the politics of nationalism, saw the Team india factor in Harbhajan, he took harbhajan singh in his hands. Keep in mind that the aam aadmi party is going to get five seats in the rajya sabha by the end of this month i.e. march 2022.


The extent to which Harbhajan's friendship with chief minister Mann seems to be benefiting him can also be gauged from the fact that the newly formed state government of punjab, under the leadership of chief minister Bhagwant Mann, can also give the command of a sports university to Harbhajan Singh. It is worth noting that cm Bhagwant Mann has recently promised to set up a sports university in Jalandhar.



Time will decide how Harbhajan cricket will somehow perform in the field of politics, but the way he has come under the erosion of aam aadmi party, it is not a big deal that in tomorrow's date we can also get Sidhu standing at the rate of Aam Aadmi Party.


Harbhajan's friendship with Mann is an excuse. Sidhu knows his political future, it is no big deal that he has shown aam aadmi party to Harbhajan for his personal benefit. On the other hand, if we talk about the aam aadmi party, then every Harbhajan, who has lived in Team india from above, is not a loss deal from anywhere.


Overall, both the aam aadmi party and harbhajan singh have the advantage. Because of Harbhajan, the nationalist image of the party will be strengthened, while in punjab, hardly anyone else can give Harbhajan a bigger chance of politics.
