‘Congress making excuses’: Akhilesh replies to Priyanka’s weak candidates comment

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said he doesn't believe Congress has fielded weak candidates in Uttar Pradesh. Calling it an excuse, Akhilesh said people are not with Congress. Earlier in a rally, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had claimed to have fielded weak candidates to eat into BJP's vote share.

“I cannot believe in these types of statements. I do not believe that the Congress has fielded weak candidates anywhere. No party does it. People are not with them. That is why they are making excuses,” Yadav said.
