Congress Leader Criticizes Opposition Parties Ahead of Uttar Pradesh Elections

New Delhi, November 15 (Daily Kiran) : As the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections approach, Congress’s state co-in-charge, Abhishek Dutt, has made pointed remarks about other opposition parties. He emphasized the need for a united front against the BJP, referencing the party’s electoral losses in states like Goa, Haryana, and Uttarakhand, where the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) contested. Dutt urged that to defeat the BJP, all parties must work together.

Speaking to a news agency, Dutt criticized parties that only appear during elections, stating, “Those who come forward to support the BJP have already been exposed to the public. It’s not right to show up only during elections and disappear afterward.” He stressed that genuine concern for Uttar Pradesh requires continuous engagement with the electorate, rather than sporadic visits to the state.

On the topic of an alliance with the Samajwadi Party, Dutt stated, “My colleagues and I are responsible for working across all 403 assembly constituencies. We will discuss seat allocations with our senior leader Akhilesh Yadav. Once a decision is made, we will collectively campaign in every constituency. It is clear that we are united in our goal to defeat the BJP.”

Dutt also highlighted the positive relationship between Congress and the Samajwadi Party, asserting that both parties will collaborate in the elections. “We provided a preview in the Lok Sabha elections; the main picture is yet to come,” he added.

Addressing allegations of funding from George Soros, he remarked, “The BJP has been in power at the center for 12 years. They should investigate who is providing funding. No one has stopped them, and they have all the agencies at their disposal to make public disclosures.”
