Newly-appointed Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Ajay Kumar Lallu on Sunday said he is banking on 'Sampark' (contact), 'Samvaad' (dialogue) and 'Sangharsh' (struggle) to strengthen his party and exuded confidence that it will form the government in the state.

He said the mandate given by the people is supreme.

"The biggest challenge is to make the Congress the only alternative to the BJP. For this, we have to infuse enthusiasm and self-confidence among the party workers, and work closely with them.

"For emerging as the only alternative to the BJP, the path is struggle. If we stand up to the expectations of the people and win their trust, we will not only become the only alternative to the BJP, but also form the government in the state," Ajay Kumar told PTI.

Asked how will he strengthen the Congress in the state, he said, "I am banking on Sampark, Samvaad and Sangharsh. The party will undertake a number of creative work and engage in a dialogue with the public. The party will also link more students and youth with itself."
