Veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh on Monday said that he has received a lot of love from the chief of Congress' Punjab unit Navjot Singh Sidhu. Recently, his photo with Sidhu led to a lot of speculation of him joining the Congress party. The picture was shared on Twitter and captioned "picture loaded with possibilities".
