Gujarat RS polls: Congress in a tizzy as NCP yet to clear stand over support

August 07, 2017 08:55

It seems that nothing is going right for the Congress.

Nationalist Congress Party leader Praful Patel said his party has not decided yet about extending support to any party for the Rajya Sabha polls in Gujarat to be held on Tuesday.

The Sharad Pawar-led party, which entered into an alliance with the Congress for the 2012 assembly polls in the state, currently has two legislators - Kandhal Jadeja and Jayant Patel.

Gujarat has three seats to decide for the Rajya Sabha in this election. BJP chief Amit Shah and union minister Smriti Irani are placed to easily win two of the three seats. Ahmed Patel, who has served four terms already in the Rajya Sabha, is getting pushed further away from the third.

He said the decision about supporting any party in the Rajya Sabha polls would be taken in consultation with Sharad Pawar.
