The power of poor people defeated the might of crony capitalists and it will be repeated in other elections, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi announced hours after his party wrested Karnataka from the BJP.
“I am happy we contested the Karnataka polls without using hate, bad language. We fought the polls with love. In Karnataka, ‘ nafrat ka bazaar’ (market of hate) has closed down’ and ‘ mohabbat ki dukaanein’ (shops of love) have opened,” Mr Gandhi said amidst loud cheers from party workers and bursting of crackers at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters.
