New Delhi: Suspended Congress leader Natwar Singh on Monday said he would oppose Congress in the forthcoming Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh and campaign for the Samajwadi Party.
“Assembly elections are going to be held in the state. I along with Samajwadi Party will oppose Congress party in the next polls,” Singh said.
Singh, who had earlier this month virtually dared the party leadership to expel him for sharing SP platform in Lucknow, came out in support of UP Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav who will face a trust-vote in the state Assembly on February 26.
"Yadav should be allowed to prove his majority on the floor of the House. Nothing will be lost by waiting for a few days," Singh said.
Asked if he had plans of joining Samajwadi Party, Singh who was considered to be close to the Gandhi family, said he would not like to "open his cards at this juncture".
He also explained that his relations with Samajwadi Party goes back 11 years ago when Mulayam Singh offered him a Lok Sabha seat before Sonia Gandhi decided to enter politics.
