Sapna Chaudhary takes U-turn hours after joining Congress

Hours after she was formally inducted into the Congress at its Uttar Pradesh unit chief Raj Babbar's residence, dancer Sapna Chaudhary on Sunday denied joining the party and said her pictures with Congress leaders being circulated on the social media were old.

"I have not joined the Congress party. The photograph with Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is old. I have met Priyanka Gandhi several times before and she is very good but I am not going to campaign for any political party," she told the media.

 

Her statement comes a day after photographs surfaced in which she is seen signing some papers. The singer, however, said she had no idea of the photographs. "I cannot tell what kind of paper was that and I am not sure of when it is. I meet with people of all parties and I am an artist. I am not joining politics. When I will join politics, I will come out in the open", she said.
