New Delhi, Oct 7 (UNI) Former Union Minister Yashwant Sinha on Sunday cautioned the principal Opposition Congress party to get rid of "hubris" and form a "united front" against the BJP even in the state assembly elections.
Taking to micro-blogging site, Twitter, the former BJP leader said,"Hubris is dangerous in politics. Congress party should rid itself of this vice and start talking to everyone so that a united front emerges against the BJP even in the state elections."
Mr Sinha's statement come days after BSP supremo Mayawati announced that her party would go alone in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly and Rajasthan Assembly polls.
