Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh today accused the BJP of polarising elections in UP and said its decision to field Uma Bharti shows its "total bankruptcy" of leaders in the state.
However, he dismissed allegations that he was communalising elections by raking up issues like Batla House encounter and reservation for Muslims.
Singh, who is known to aggressively wooing the minorities for Congress, said his party does not mind Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi campaigning in Uttar Pradesh.
The Congress general secretary, who has come under fresh attack from BJP's Hindutva face Uma Bharti, hit out at the BJP for fielding her in UP elections.
"I must say, that in all this one thing that comes out clearly is that there is a total bankruptcy of leaders in BJP's UP unit. That is why they had to import a leader from Madhya Pradesh.....But we don't take her seriously," Singh told PTI.
The Congress leader charged the BJP with deliberately polarising the elections in UP as it has no issues.
In reply to a question, Singh said he "does not mind" Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi campaigning in UP.
Though Singh claimed Congress would get a clear majority in UP, he did not rule out alliances in case there is a hung Assembly.
"It all depends on the results. But we are not answering any hypothetical questions," Singh said.
