Singh, who is in charge of party affairs in Assam, said the Congress had contested the last assembly polls in the state on its own and had a post-poll alliance to form the government.
The Congress today indicated that it could go it alone in the assembly polls in Assam scheduled to be held soon.
"As of now, there are no plans of any pre-poll alliance", party general secretary Digvijay Singh told reporters here.
Singh, who is in charge of party affairs in Assam, said the Congress had contested the last assembly polls in the state on its own and had a post-poll alliance to form the government.
Replying to a question on ULFA's offer of peace talks, he said Congress has always been advocating such talks.
Asked whether such talks ahead of the Assembly polls would be beneficial for the Congress, he said, "In politics, timing is significant."
Singh's statement came two days after ULFA chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa said his outfit was ready to sit for peace talks without any preconditions for an "honourable" solution to relieve the people of Assam of their suffering.
"A new chapter begins in our long struggle. As per the wishes of the National Convention, we will sit for peace talks with the government without preconditions," the 54-year-old ULFA leader, who was released from jail on Saturday, told a massive gathering in front of the historic Ranghar where the outfit was formed by him and five others on April 7, 1979.
He did not mention the outfit's core demand of sovereignty.
On BJP's demand for deletion of the names of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants from the voters' list of Assam, Singh said the opposition party is trying to communalise the issue and there should not be two yardsticks for Hindus and Muslims who have migrated to Assam.
"If there is a case where a person who is not a citizen of India but has been able to get a voter identity card, they should approach the concerned district magistrate or Election Commission. But the opposition party is trying to make a political issue out of it," Singh said.
The AICC general secretary was responding to questions on the demands raised by BJP general secretary in-charge for Assam Vijay Goel that names of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh should be removed from the voters' list of Assam and that Hindu Bengalis that migrated to the state from that country should be given citizenship here.
The Congress leader said any Bangladeshi, who comes to India and stays here without proper formalities, has to be treated as illegal immigrant "but BJP tries to differentiate between Hindu and Muslim immigrants. They call a Hindu immigrant refugee but dub a Muslim immigrant infiltrator."
Rejecting contentions of a demographic change in Assam due to infiltration from Bangladesh, he said,"There was no census in Assam in 1991. The changes in the ration of minority and majority according to the census of 1981 and 2001 in Assam is not greatly different from what it is in other states," Singh said.
