Lucknow, Sep 12 (PTI) Asserting that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) would contest all 403 assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh, senior leader Sanjay Singh has said it would be a mistake to consider AAP a minnow as it had emerged "stronger" than the Congress in the recent panchayat polls.

AAP got over 40 lakh votes in these polls, where 1600 party candidates contested," Singh, who is AAP"s UP incharge, told PTI in an interview.
The Congress was reduced to seven seats in the 2017 election to the 403-member UP Assembly.
