Clearly indicating that it could not afford to alienate allies Samajwadi Party (SP) ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress on Thursday dropped Satyavrat Chaturvedi from its panel of spokesmen, a day after he suggested hat SP general secretary Amar Singh needed a neck up check up.
At the AICC briefing, Congress spokesman Manish Tiwari, however, had disassociated himself from Chaturvedi’s statement saying he was not aware of the statement.
Tewari had maintained that Congress wanted seat adjustments in UP with the SP to defeat the "anti-people" BSP government in the state.
Chaturvedi’s ouster from the panel is unlikely to impress the SP, which in the days to come is expected to seek the scalp of at least one other senior Congress leader.
