Team Anna's campaign against Congress in UP will benefit BSP: Rashid Alvi

NEW DELHI: Questioning the motive of Team Anna, Congress today said any campaign by the anti-corruption group against the party in Uttar Pradesh would mean "indirect support to BSP".

"Those who are saying to oppose Congress in UP, they would indirectly support the BSP. It is a clear message that they (Team Anna) want to fight corruption by joining hands with Mayawati in UP. So what kind of fight against corruption is this?" Congress spokesperson Rashid Alvi asked.

Team Anna has threatened to campaign against Congress in the forthcoming assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh.

On the Parliament attack 10 years ago, Alvi said, "That was a black day in Parliament history and let's pray it does not happen again. Steps are being taken to prevent such incidents. But we must be cautious not to let it happen again as Parliament is the temple of democracy."
