In an editorial in 'Saamana', the Shiv Sena said Mr Prasada, a young leader, was of no use to the Congress and will remain so to the BJP.
The Shiv Sena on Friday described as "hilarious" the BJP's celebration over the induction of Uttar Pradesh leader Jitin Prasada into the party fold, but also said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will have to create a strong team in his party. In a shot in the arm for the BJP, Prasada, a Congress leader joined the BJP on Wednesday, months ahead of the Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh scheduled for early next year. The 47-year former Union minister comes from a well-known Brahmin family of UP. In an editorial in party mouthpiece 'Saamana', the Shiv Sena said Mr Prasada, a young leader, was of no use to the Congress and will remain so to the BJP. "Jitin Prasada, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Sachin pilot were young leaders and there were high expectations from them. There is already a vacuum in the Congress after the death of Ahmed Patel and Rajeev Satav. It is not good that young leaders are going the BJP way," the Sena said.More Related News
