Lucknow, Oct 2 (UNI) Apna Dal (Sonelal) national president and union Minister Anupriya Patel on Friday asserted that the NDA would return to power in Uttar Pradesh with a landslide victory in the 2027 Assembly elections, saying her party remained a "strong and reliable" ally of the ruling alliance.
"Our goal is to form an NDA government in Uttar Pradesh again in 2027. There will be an NDA candidate on every seat, whether it goes to Apna Dal or another ally. Our effort will be to ensure the victory of the alliance candidate on every seat. To this end, every party worker will work with full force on the ground," Patel told reporters here after a review meeting of her party.
Patel also hit out at the opposition over its questions regarding the Election Commission, voter lists and the electoral process, saying that parties often blame institutions instead of analysing their own shortcomings after losing elections.
