New Delhi: Congress on Friday claimed Rahul
Gandhi's leadership has "created fear and frustration among
all the opponents of the party" in Uttar Pradesh assembly
poll.
Replying to a quesiton, party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi
said "opposiition parties are frightened by the growing
popularity of Priyanka Gandhi".
He claimed "a wave is sweeping in favour of the party in
the Assembly elections which will turn into "historic" results
for it everywhere including Uttar Pradesh".
"We will not go into specifics but our internal
assessment, survey and reports show we are proceeding to
historic figures in each of the state", Singhvi told reporters
here.
While the march of progress in Punjab was "vigorous,
conclusive and decisive," he said the Congress is not relying
on cyclical anti-incumbency.
In Uttarkhand, the "mere sham and drama" of changing the
Chief Minister by BJP will "not fool the electorate", he said.
