New Delhi: The star-campaigner and MP of Congress Rahul Gandhi said on Saturday, his long-term objective is to revive the party in the politically significant state of Uttar Pradesh and not government formation.
''We do not aim to form government in UP. My long-term objective is to strengthen Congress in India's largest and politically important state,'' he was quoted by UNI.
Rahul said that he got familiar with different political and social issues of UP during his roadshows and campaigns in the state. “I would also like to get familiar with other important issues,'' he added.
Talking on issues of development, the Congress MP asserted he has several strategies for UP's development, but before he moves ahead with them, he also wants peoples' views on the issue.
Denying that party could not win the ongoing Assembly poll, Rahul said ''It is not true. Congress has a standing in UP which only needs to be boosted up.''
Slamming the non-Congress regimes in UP since the last 17-years, Rahul said the opposition parties had done little for the state's development and only ''misutilised'' youth power.
''UP is passing through a dismal phase. It lacks proper roads, power and medical facility. To protect UP from ruining is Congress' priority and this could only happen with the support of people, especially youth,'' he said.
