Jaiswal does U-turn on President rule remark - NewsX

  • 5 years ago
Union Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal has said if Congress fails to get a majority in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls he sees a possibility of President's rule, a statement that came under attack from rivals, forcing him to go for damage control. "If Congress gets majority then it will form the government. In case we don't get clear majority we sit in the opposition and I see no alternative but governor's rule," the Union Coal Minister said. The Congress leader said "those who lack confidence are looking for alliance. Congress will not forge any alliance." But shortly later after reaching New Delhi, he appeared to retract, saying his statement was "twisted" by reporters. "The reality is that we will form a government with clear majority in UP and nobody can stop it from happening," Jaiswal said.
