Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday said her party is “open-minded” about forging an alliance with other political parties for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls. Asked whether the Congress will go it alone on all the 403 assembly seats in the state or align with some political party, Vadra told reporters, “It is too early to say.”

On whether she is ruling out an alliance, she said, “I do not rule it out. We are absolutely not closed-minded. We are keeping an open mind.” “Our aim is to defeat the BJP,” she said, adding that other political parties should also be “open-minded”.
