Responding to questions from mediapersons if road shows and other programmes would help the party at the hustings, he said, "Rest assured...We are among the people. Sonia is here to have darshan and take blessings of Baba Vishwanath in this holy month of Shravan."
This is the third major programme of the party in the past few days after "27 saal-UP behal" Delhi-Kanpur bus yatra and Rahul Gandhi's interactive session with booth level workers in Lucknow.
Earlier, Sonia arrived here to a rousing reception by party workers for a six-km-long road show.
Her cavalcade was accompanied by 5,000 strong contingent of motorcyclists from Lal Bahadur Shastri Babatpur airport to the circuit house.
Huge banners and buntings have been put up by party to make the roadshow successful and launch the poll campaign in the eastern region of the poll-bound state.
BJP did not fare very well in the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh in the last assembly election and Congress hopes to take advantage make inroads.
