Congress on Monday virtually snubbed Union minister Beni Prasad Verma making it clear that it will sit in the Opposition in Uttar Pradesh if it does not not get majority. "Congress will form a government if it gets majority. It will sit in the Opposition if it does not. The party has not changed its position so far," party general secretary Janardhan Dwivedi told reporters on the eve of counting of votes in U P and four other states. Dwivedi, who is also AICC media department chairman, sought to silence leaders like Verma who have been giving "individual" views on the issue. Verma created a flutter with his remarks BSP will be a better ally for Congress if it does not not get majority.
