Priyanka Vadra will lead Congress in UP polls: Salman Khurshid

Former Union minister and senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid on Sunday said that the congress in UP will go solo and  would not form alliance with any party. He further said that the party will contest the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly election under the leadership of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Khurshid said the face for the Congress's chief ministerial candidate was not clear as of now but the party would field candidates for all 403 assembly seats in UP.

He said that "We will contest the elections with firm belief. Party workers will go to each constituency to know the problems being faced by the local people". Salman Khurshid, who was in Agra to meet people to be able to prepare the party's manifesto, stressed that it would include voices of the common people. "The party members have been visiting assemblies and trying to contact people and know problems being faced by the locals," he said.
