New Delhi, Jan 20: Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin may join the Congress and contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
“The party’s general secretary in-charge of Andhra Pradesh Veerappa Moily has informed us that talks with him (Azharuddin) are on to induct him in the party,” union minister and senior Congress leader Oscar Fernandes told reporters here.
However, the party is yet to disclose the seat from where he will contest.
“It is too early to comment on this (seat). We need to wait some more time,” Fernandes added.
Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh welcomed the move to induct the former Indian skipper into the party.
“We welcome Azharuddin. He has always been a fine cricketer,” Singh said. Azharuddin had earlier denied reports of either joining or campaigning for the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections. (PTI)
