With the party relegated to the fourth position in Uttar Pradesh, the Congress on Tuesday accepted the verdict of the people which was “against expectations”.
Party spokesman Rashid Alvi said “whatever verdict has been given by the people, we have accepted…It was against our expectations and we will find out where we have gone wrong”.
Congress general secretary Rashid Alvi declared in Lucknow on Monday that Rahul Gandhi’s rise to the Prime Minister’s chair in 2014 was a forgone conclusion. He was reacting to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad’s sarcastic remark, daring Rahul to become prime minister as that would expose his capabilities.
We are glad that realisation has finally dawned on the BJP that the Congress is all set to again return to power in 2014, and Rahul will become prime minister.
Congress spokesperson Rashid Alvi said his party does not see any perceived threat from BJP leader Uma Bharti whom the saffron party has fielded from Charkari Assembly seat.He was reacting to Bharti’s statement that she will teach a “tough lesson” to Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi.
“Uma Bharti was thrown out of Madhya Pradesh politics by his own party. Now she is searching a ground in Uttar Pradesh”, Alvi said.they also told that “people of Uttar Pradesh will give a fitting reply to Bharti’s statement in the poll”.
