Commenting on the statements by Nationalist Congress Party leader Praful Patel about an alliance, Singh said, “In the past, Patel had said that Congress is not worthy of an alliance.”
“He should clarify if Congress is fit enough for NCP to ally with.”
Speaking further about the issue of an alliance, the senior Congress leader reiterated that the final decision would rest with the central Congress Working Committee.
However, he denied that the party higher ups had received any communication from the Congress Blocks opposing an alliance with any political party.
