MUMBAI: Indian cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu has become more popular in India following his visit to Pakistan, where he attended groundbreaking ceremony of Kartarpur corridor, Indian media reported.
According to India Today's Political Stock Exchange (PSE) poll, Sidhu's popularity is taking a leap in Indian Punjab over the Kartarpur corridor.
The PSE survey shows Sidhu's popularity in Punjab has increased four-fold over the past three months, with 16 percent supporting him as the Chief Minister of Indian Punjab, up from four percent in October, India Today reported.
Over 42 percent of Indian Punjab residents credited the former cricketer for the corridor project.
