Jaiswal again: Rahul can be PM at midnight if he wants

Jaiswal,who has expressed readiness to become the chief minister if the high command so wanted,also assured people of the area that he would give them the the best ministry Mathura ever had if they ensured the win of the party candidate.

Jaiswal had triggered a controversy a couple of days ago with his remark that whoever becomes the Congress chief minister in UP,Rahul would be the remote control.

Only on Friday,the Election Commission had held prima facie that his comment on imposition of Presidents Rule in Uttar Pradesh was a threat to voters and violated the model code of conduct. The poll panel had slapped a showcause notice on Jaiswal.

Meanwhile in Agra,Jaiswal said he would abide and duly respond to the Election Commissions directive issued to him over his Presidents rule remark. I have great respect for the Election Commission and would abide by its decision, he told reporters.

In reply to a question,he claimed Congress would emerge as the single largest party and would form the government on its own in the state. The party would neither seek the support of nor support any party to form the government,he said.
