“Congress will definitely contest the bypoll and win it. We will announce the candidate after a party meeting,” she told the media in Yamunanagar after a ‘Mahila panchayat’ organised by the party’s women cell.

Selja said the party is still going strong in Punjab and will win in the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh as well.

“Congress is in a good position in Punjab. We will see a repeat of Congress government there. Other parties only gave slogans of empowering the Scheduled Castes, but Congress actually did it. We will perform well in Uttar Pradesh as every section of the society, including farmers, are against the BJP government in state,” she added.
