Ajay Kumar Lallu said the Congress would fight Uttar Pradesh polls next year under Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s supervision and under her leadership, the party would make a comeback in the state after over three decades New Delhi: Days after the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party ruled out forging any major alliances for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, Congress’ state unit chief Ajay Kumar Lallu on Sunday expressed confidence that his party has the capacity to fight the elections without aligning with either of them and form the next government on its own. He also said the Congress would fight the polls in Uttar Pradesh next year under Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s “dekh-rekh ”, and that under her leadership, the party would make a comeback in the state after over three decades. Pressed on whether Priyanka Gandhi would be the party’s face in the run-up to the polls, Lallu said she is UP’s in-charge and the elections will be fought under her supervision. Asked if the Congress has the capacity to fight the polls on its own, Lallu said, “Yes, definitely it has the capacity to fight.” His remarks assume significance as they come days after SP chief Akhilesh Yadav said his party will not enter into any alliance with big parties, while BSP supremo Mayawati later asserted that her outfit will not enter into any alliance for the UP polls.
