<p>Is Yuvraj Singh, the former cricket player for India, going to join the Bharatiya Janata Party? The mobe is the subject of much conjecture, and neither BJP sources nor those with ties to Singh’s family have refuted it. According to sources close to News18, Singh, also known as Yuvi, communicates with the BJP via two individuals: Sunil Jakhar, the party’s president for Punjab, and a youthful cabinet member serving in the Narendra Modi administration.</p>

<p>If negotiations succeed, Singh is probably going to be chosen from Gurdaspur, Punjab, where Sunny Deol, the current MP, has said that he does not want to serve another term, and the BJP is also not too keen to nominate him.</p>
<p>This seat has alternated between the Congress and the BJP since 2009. Gurdaspur residents are understandably incensed with Deol for all but deserting their district when he was elected in 2019. The BJP intends to use a well-liked young Punjabi actor who, in contrast to the seasoned actor, doesn’t reside far away to combat Deol’s anti-incumbency sentiment. Singh is a Chandigarh resident.</p>
<p>Aneesh Gautam, Singh’s longtime manager, was contacted by News18 but has not answered as of the publication of this story. You will find out if he joins the BJP, according to a source close to the star cricket player’s family, who did not refute the rumours.</p>
<p>The 2011 World Cup hero recently visited Union minister Nitin Gadkari in New Delhi, accompanied by his mother Shabnam Singh. In addition to greetings, Gadkari gave the cricket player a book. The talk has become more intense ever then.</p>
<p>A significant portion of Punjabi voters turned against the BJP as a result of the three agricultural legislation that the Union government was compelled to repeal in 2021 and the year-long farmers’ agitation. Even though the Modi government procured 74% of the state’s wheat crop and 100% of Punjab’s paddy crop on MSP last season, the recent wave of farmer protests demanding an MSP law among other demands and the ensuing street confrontation haven’t healed the divisions between Punjab and the BJP.</p>
<p>Therefore, it would be possible to lessen the harm the BJP does in Punjab by enlisting the aid of a former cricketer who speaks Punjabi and has made India proud on several times. The state provides 13 members in the Lok Sabha. Singh may benefit the BJP in both Punjab and certain areas of Haryana if the party is successful in getting him to join.</p>
<p>If the negotiations take off, only time will tell, but BJP insiders say they are “hopeful.”</p>
