Suspended BSP leader Danish Ali joins Congress ahead of Lok Sabha elections

MP Danish Ali, who was suspended by the Bahujan Samaj Party in December, joined the Congress on Wednesday ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.

“The state of this country is not hidden from anybody,” Ali said at a press conference on Wednesday. “Today there is a power that wants to divide the country on one side and on the other side there is a power that wants to provide justice to the country’s poor, marginalised people. The choice is clear.”

He said that he joined the Congress because he was unable to fight the divisive forces with the same energy that he wanted to in his previous party.
