Alpesh Thakor says not joining BJP, criticises Congress's disconnect from voters
With four of the turncoat Congress MLAs taking oath as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders in the Gujarat Assembly, questions are again being raised about the future of Congress MLA Alpesh Thakor.
Meanwhile, both the BJP and Thakor himself remained non-committal about the issue. While Thakor clearly stated that he was not joining the BJP, the BJP party leaders when questioned by media on the sidelines of the swearing-in of the new BJP MLAs said the question needed to be posed to Thakor and not them.
A news agency quoted Thakor as saying that he will not join the BJP although he is in contact with quite a few of their party leaders as an MLA.
