New Delhi: Sapna Choudhary, Haryanvi singer and dancing sensation, who joined Congress on Sunday and immediately quit from the party, had allegedly met Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari before making the decision.
A day after the incident, a picture of Manoj Tiwari with Sapna is surfacing on the internet.
Within hours of Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Raj Babbar welcoming her into the party fold, Haryanavi singer-dancer Sapna Chaudhary on Sunday claimed she has not joined the Congress and accused it of using her old pictures with Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
Babbar had on Saturday night welcomed Chaudhary into the party and posted a picture on Twitter of the dancer with Congress general secretary in-charge of east Uttar Pradesh Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
"I welcome Sapna Chaudhary ji in the Congress family," Babbar had tweeted.
Chaudhary also said that she will not campaign for any political party in the Lok Sabha election.
"I have not joined the Congress party. My pictures with Priyanka Gandhi are old, as I have met her many times in the past. These pictures are old. The biggest issue is that I have not joined any party," she told media.
When confronted by media about her pictures filling up forms of Congress membership, Chaudhary said that if her old interview can be aired, why cannot her pictures be passed of as new.
A close aide of Babbar, who was seen in the picture with Chaudhary on Saturday evening, had nothing to say on the singer taking a U-turn.
He also displayed the membership form she had apparently filled up on her joining the party.
Sources said that Chaudhary was keen to contest from Mathura, where the BJP has fielded Bollywood actor Hema Malini.
However, the Congress declared Mahesh Pathak as the party candidate from Mathura in the eighth list of candidates for the Lok Sabha polls released on Saturday night.
