“Uttar Pradesh is literally ruled by mafias now and the state needs to be ruled by visionaries like our Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Congress is no more acceptable to the common man because of its wrong agenda and Rahul Gandhi has already been rejected all over the country. In the greater interest of Uttar Pradesh, I have joined the BJP for a developed state,” says Rita Bahuguna Joshi, the former President of Uttar Pradesh Congress and talks about her future political odyssey in the BJP in an exclusive interview with Nilabh Krishna. Excerpts:
Why have you left the Congress and joined the BJP. How do you see the BJP in upcoming 2017 Assembly elections in UP?
The Congress party has lost all its ground support in Uttar Pradesh.after the mantle of election campaign has gone to Prashant Kishore. All the stalwarts of the party have become redundant. People of Uttar Pradesh are not ready for the leadership of Sheila Dikshit or Rahul Gandhi. So, for the sake of saving the people from the clutches of BSP and SP misrule and also for the development of the state, which didn’t happen in the last 27 years, the BJP is the only option. People of the state still believe in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s credentials and if the BJP wants to get absolute majority in the state then people like me from all other parties will have to come on board.
When you were in Congress, you criticised both Modi and the BJP. Don’t you think BJP’s activists will hold their grudge against you?
