GUWAHATI: Amid speculations that he is set to join the Congress after quitting BJP alleging insults he had to face, sitting MP from Tezpur Lok Sabha constituency, Ram Prasad Sharma, has clarified that he will not join any other political party but will resume his practice as a lawyer.
Reacting to media reports suggesting he is likely to join other political party to contest the coming Lok Sabha elections, he said, “I will never join any other party whatever the offer.”
The MP from Tezpur said he would not join any other political party as he couldn’t follow any other ideology except that of the RSS. He has been a Swayem Sevak of the RSS since 1976.
He said that he would once again start his law practice. The MP resigned from the saffron party on Saturday after being certain that it is not going to re-nominate him to contest Lok Sabha election from Tezpur.
His resignation and the opposition Congress’ decision to take more time to announce its candidate for Tezpur Lok Sabha constituency have led to speculation that he is going to join the Congress. A section of APCC leaders have reacted adversely in the media in reaction to the speculation doing the rounds.
Meanwhile, the sitting BJP MP from Nagaon Lok Sabha seat and the Minister of State for Railways, Rajen Gohain, too is unlikely to be nominated by the party to contest the next Lok Sabha election. It may be mentioned that a case of harassment of a woman is pending against the Nagaon MP in High Court.
