Congress campaign against BSP has helped SP: Sachin Pilot

New Delhi, Mar 6 (ANI): With the Congress slipping to fourth position in Uttar Pradesh, Minister of State for Communication and IT Sachin Pilot on Tuesday said the Samajwadi Party (SP) gained an advantage from the Congress campaign against the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).

"I feel that we created an environment against BSP and SP got advantage of this. Our mission in UP was to remove BSP government and we did it," Pilot said here.

"We did very good campaigns in UP. We should wait for the total outcome of the results," he added.
