Talking to the media after the inauguration of National Media Centre in New Delhi, Mrs Gandhi also expressed hope that the Food Security Bill will be passed in the Monsoon Session of Parliament.
Asked if UPA-III will be a reality, she said: "Certainly. 100 per cent. Obviously so many rights we have given. It is our right to information, right to education and now right to food is our USP", she said when asked about the possibility of UPA-III coming to power and what was the USP on which the elections will be fought."
To a question about the possibility of early general elections, she said: "Our aim is to go till the end (of the government's tenure)."
The Congress-led UPA, now in its second term, has been facing intense criticism from the opposition on issues related price rise, the falling value of the rupee and corruption.
The term of the UPA-II government will end in May next year.
