Posters asking for Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu to keep his promise of quitting politics were seen here on Saturday.  

Sidhu, at the time of campaigning for Lok Sabha elections, had promised that he would quit politics if his party president Rahul Gandhi lost from Amethi Lok 

Sabha seat where he was contesting against BJP´s Smriti Irani.  

The posters were put up in Pakhowal road. The posters had a picture of Sidhu and the caption read, When are you quitting politics? Time to keep your words. We are waiting for your resignation.  

The posters also carried the promise which Sidhu had made: I will quit politics if Rahul Gandhi loses from Amethi, a statement the Congress leader had made in one of his campaign rallies.  

On Friday, similar posters had surfaced in Mohali.

In one of the biggest upsets in this year´s Lok Sabha elections, Congress president Rahul Gandhi was defeated in Amethi parliamentary constituency by BJP´s Smriti Irani. The seat was considered a stronghold of the Nehru-Gandhi family.  

Recently, Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh had stripped the cricketer-turned-politician of the portfolios of local government and tourism and culture and gave him power and new and renewable energy sources ministry.
