New Delhi (PTI): The Congress has expressed "surprise" at the decision of RLD chief Ajit Singh to oppose the UPA government during the trust vote but maintained that it would have no impact on the majority which the ruling coalition enjoys.

"RLD's decision was a sort of surprise but we are ready with the numbers and confident of winning the trust vote," Prithviraj Chavan, Minister of state in the PMO, said here.

Chavan claimed "surprises" would be there as the Congress has a "cushion" of support from parties other than the UPA partners.

"Surprises would happen at the last minute. A lot of work has gone into it," the Congress leader said.
