Azharuddin keen on joining Cong

Former cricketer Mohammed Azharuddin met chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, PCC president D Srinivas and AICC general secretary M Veerappa Moily on Thursday. Sources said he indicated his desire to join the Congress.

In most likelihood, Azharuddin may be fielded as the Congress candidate for the Lok Sabha from either Secunderabad or Nizamabad constituencies, the source added.

Azharuddin went to Lake View Guest House around 4 pm where the Congress leaders were in a meeting to finalise the candidates for the Legislative Council elections. The former Indian captain was with them for half an hour and left the guest house without talking to the waiting media.

Party sources confirmed that Azhar expressed his intention to join the party to the three leaders. "He is certainly interested in joining the party. A decision to this effect will be announced in a couple of days," said PCC media in charge N Manohar.
