On being asked about fielding of candidate against Sonia Gandhi in Rae Bareli, Yadav said it was to be decided at party's national level and party was yet to make any decision in this matter.

He further said that the state government was committed towards the development of the state and would extend all possible help for advancement of Rae Bareli.

Meanwhile, Sonia Gandhi would lay foundation stone for the two new rail lines in her Rae Bareli constituency on 30 November. She would also inaugurate the FM radio station at her parliamentary constituency.
