Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai on Wednesday met Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MP Kunwar Danish Ali in New Delhi fuelling further speculation on the possibility of the latter’s entry to the grand old party ahead of 2024 Lok Sabha election.
Speaking with The Hindu, U.P. Congress leaders said Mr. Ali is welcome to join the party as the Congress is the most vocal critic of the BJP’s divisive, communal politics and an ideal platform to fight for the rights of minorities.
“We come in solidarity with Danish Ali saheb. He is a strong MP, and always talked about peace and harmony of the country,” said Mr. Rai, the newly appointed U.P. Congress chief.
