  • If you consider the gap we had to fill in Rajasthan, it's a great result. Same in Madhya Pradesh.
  • There were many things going for the BJP - money power, organizational capability, they have sitting chief ministers who have given out huge doles.
  • So with all those things considered, it's a great result for the Congress.
  • Winning an election is the first step, the real issues are of the people.
  • With the victory in the Hindi heartland now, the tide will turn.
  • This is the first time that decisions taken at the national level have affected the local elections. For example demonetization, which has harmed all strata of society.
  • Irrespective of Narendra Modi's popularity, the price of fuel, the price of produce a farmer gets, matters more.
  • You must give credit to Rahul Gandhi. He's worked tirelessly and connected with the marginalized.
  • But elections aren't won by one person even though Rahul Gandhi's contribution has been significant.
