"It Is Only When They…": UP Congress Chief On Rumours of Joining BJP

Dismissing speculations that he could be the next prominent face in the Congress to dump the grand old party and join the BJP ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, the party’s UP president Ajay Rai said on Tuesday the latter only makes such claims when it is ‘worried’ or ‘anxious’. Speaking to media persons on Tuesday, the Congress leader, who has been pitted once again against Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Varanasi in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Mr Rai said, “It seems those in the BJP are not getting enough work these days and have nothing else to involve themselves with. It is only when they get worried or anxious that they make such claims.”
