After Uttar Pradesh, Rahul Gandhi's next political target for the Congress will be Bihar where assembly polls are scheduled late next year.

Gandhi will be concentrating on Bihar after his success in UP, which includes his role in the victory of the party in the Firozabad Lok Sabha by-election, party sources said.

Due to Gandhi's efforts, the party had won 21 seats in the Lok Sabha elections in May and the tally has now increased to 22.

The feeling in the party is that if Congress could do well in UP, it could certainly do so in Bihar where the party has been out of power for the last almost 20 years.

Sources said that the party was unlikely to align with any party in the Bihar polls and would like to go it alone.

no doubt it is true that revival of congress party in recently concluded election uttar praesh must go to rahul gandhi but the party will get the same success in bihar one has to wait and watch. The way rahul is working at grass root level to strengthen the party where ever it is weak and getting the success for the party only show that he has a definate plan that would revive the party. The good thing about rahul is that if trying to establish the contact with grass root level and the people which was almost non existant since the party lostlost elections as the leader in the party thought that it is their birth right to rule unfortunately most of the people who has the same mentalityare still at the helm of affairs of the party. If the party really wants to come to power on its own strength more and more youngsters specially from rural areas be brought into the party especially in the states where party is weak. Though this they may be out of context since am refering to karnatakai would like to see rahul gandhi visiting the state and staying with people who are really in need of help after the floods displaced them and this is right time to show the concern of the party to those distressed and also to get the people know that the concern of the party to the rooms not only in the state which goes to roll but other states where the roll or not in the near future
