Lucknow: The Congress on Wednesday said the process of declaring its candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha election will start soon.
"Party leaders sent to various constituencies for selection of nominees have already submitted their reports. The party will soon announce its candidates in certain seats, where there is a unanimous opinion on nominees," AICC general secretary Digvijay Singh told reporters here.
To a question on reports on some "understanding" being reached with Samajwadi Party for the elections, Singh said "there had been no dialogue with any political party over the issue.
"The past experience of pre-poll alliance in the state had not been good for the party. I want Congress to field its nominees on all the seats where it has good candidates," Singh, in-charge of party affairs in Uttar Pradesh, said.
Singh said he would be now spending more time in the state to prepare for the elections as "ill-preparations" in Karnataka had cost the party dearly.
The senior Congress leader termed as "rumours" speculations of Priyanka Vadra contesting from Lucknow seat.
