NDTV
Senior Congress leader Dheeraj Gurjar also said that in the past 30 years, BJP, Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party have damaged Uttar Pradesh.
Senior Congress leader Dheeraj Gurjar on Sunday asserted that his party would emerge as the "king" not kingmaker in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. "In 2022, the power of UP will be in the hands of the Congress, and we will form the government with full majority," Mr Gurjar told PTI. Asked as to whether the Congress will be donning the role of king or kingmaker, the Congress co-incharge of UP said: "We will be in the role of king." Asked if a jump from the party's current tally of seven seats in the state assembly to 200+ was unrealistic, he said: "When the BJP can form the government at the Centre, while starting from two MPs, then we too can reach that figure from seven. The journey may be tough, but we will make it easy. The public is going to vote for us, and it will also repose its faith in us."More Related News
