After it
suffered a crushing defeat in the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls, Congress
general secretary in-charge of the state Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on
Thursday said party workers and leaders worked hard but failed to
convert that into votes, and asserted that the Congress would continue
to fulfil its duty as a combative opposition.
Despite an
aggressive campaign pitch by Priyanka Gandhi, the Congress failed to
make an impact in the polls and won one while was leading on another out
of the 403 assembly seats.
'The vote of the people is
paramount in a democracy. Our workers and leaders worked hard,
established the organisation, fought on the issues of the people. But,
we were not able to convert our hard work into votes,' Priyanka Gandhi
said in a tweet in Hindi.
'The Congress party, for the
betterment of UP and the people, will continue to fulfil the duty of a
combative opposition by following a positive agenda,' she said. -- PTI
