BSP’s Abdul Sami Salmani said, “The Congress is doing a lot for the poor, which is what we always wanted to do.”
Along with this, earlier BJP UP chief’s kin also joined Congress and says that future belongs to it.
It is none other than Amruta Pandey, who is Mahendra Nath Pandey’s brother’s daughter-in-law, joined the Congress on March 20 in presence of party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in Chunar area of Uttar Pradesh’s Mirzapur district.
When asked about her decision to join the Congress, she said that she has an old connection with the Gandhi family and the party.
She said, “Now that Priyanka Gandhi has officially entered the politics, I, too, have decided to join the Congress party. The coming phase is not of Prime Minister Narendra Modi but of the Congress. It is not even clear if the prime minister will contest the Lok Sabha election or not.”
Amruta Pandey further said that the future of politics belongs to Congress and that’s why “I have decided to join the Congress.”
Is congress president Rahul Gandhi trying to bring people together, gain some support, expand his party and then win the elections?
Who do you think will win?
