New Delhi: The leader of opposition and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Saturday reacting to the election results, said that the congress have accepted the people’s mandate and says the “fight for the rights of Delhiites will continue”.
In a post on X, Rahul shared “We humbly accept the mandate of Delhi. Heartfelt thanks to all the Congress workers of the state for their dedication and all the voters for their support. This fight for the progress of Delhi and the rights of Delhiites – against pollution, inflation and corruption – will continue.”
Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera also responded to the Delhi results.
He said in a post on X, “The meltdown of a section of so-called liberals is completely bizarre. They didn’t give these lectures on opposition unity to AAP when the party went to Goa, Gujarat, Haryana etc to fight elections and weaken the anti-communal, secular vote.”
He stated that the Delhi election result was a rejection of the Trojan horse that attempted to damage the liberal cause across the country.
“Majority of liberals are rightly cheering the fall of the facade so that the real champion of liberal values — the Indian National Congress — can emerge stronger to take the BJP on and defeat it,” he added.
After several hours of vote count, the BJP was ahead in 47 out of 70 seats and AAP was leading in 23. The Congress appeared set for another blank show.
