Gorakhpur: Congress star campaigner Rahul Gandhi today said he has some strategy for the party in the post-poll situation in Uttar Pradesh but refused to disclose that for now.

The 37-year-old Congress MP from Amethi said his task was to make the party stand on its own in the state.
"It is the beginning of a building process...it is a long journey, It is a long term job," he said.
"The Congress has to be strengthened in the state...We want a government which is responsible and responsive and ready to deliver," he said.
He said that he was "not a saviour of UP but I do have some expectations from the youth of the state".
On the exit poll predictions, Rahul said, "you know better...you have your predictions...I have nothing to say."
Rahul said he saw UP in a "particular persepctive. We have a lot of expectations from the youth of the state with regard to their future."
Asked about his assessment on his roadshows in the run up to the polls, Rahul said it has brought a "new enthusiasm among party workers".
The Congress MP said earlier there was a lack of morale among party workers. "The thinking was there that we cannot win...this is changing now," Rahul said.
He also said that he was not concerned about the number of seats his party wins in the ongoing assembly polls.
