Months ahead of Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, Senior Congress leader Imran Masood on Wednesday said the party is not capable of fighting alone against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and it should form an alliance with Samajwadi Party (SP) for the upcoming elections.
Speaking to ANI, Masood said, “First, we have to think are we capable of fighting alone against BJP in Uttar Pradesh and the answer is ‘no’. Then, definitely, we should alliance with the Samajwadi Party to defeat BJP Party. Honestly, if we have to fight in Uttar Pradesh then we have to fight together.” The Congress leader further said if Priyanka Gandhi Vadra becomes the chief ministerial candidate then it is good for the party but not good for her keeping her persona in mind.
“If Priyanka Gandhi becomes the chief ministerial face of Uttar Pradesh, it will not be good for her. Maybe it will benefit the Congress party. But for Priyanka Gandhi it will be harmful, it is not good for her persona,” said Masood.
Asked if he is planning to quit Congress, Masood said, “If I had to leave the party, I would not have been standing here at Congress Headquarters.”
Masood’s remarks came a day after Congress general secretary and AICC in-charge Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday asserted that one day she has to contest from Raebareli or Amethi constituencies but currently has not taken any decision as far as the 2022 upcoming Assembly elections are concerned.
