Congress leader Kapil Sibal on NDTV
- 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.
