New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday hailed the party's performance in the Karnataka assembly polls as a victory of love over hate.
In a highly charged atmosphere, where he was not even being allowed to speak and everyone wanted a byte from him he said, "Nafrat ka bazaar band hua, Mohabat ki dukaan kholi hai, Karnataka ne."
Priyanka Gandhi in a tweet said, "It is the victory of giving priority to the idea of Karnataka progress. This is the victory of politics that united the country."
Local leaders
"I thank and congratulate the people of Karnataka, party workers and leaders," Rahul Gandhi said amid bursting of crackers and cheers by party workers at the party's headquarters.
"I am happy we contested the Karnataka polls without using hate, bad language. We fought the polls with love."
In the Karnataka polls, on the one side there was power of crony capitalists and on the other there was the strength of poor people, Gandhi said. The strength of the poor has defeated the power of crony capitalists and this will happen in all states, he claimed.
Gandhi expressed happiness that the party raised people's issues and ran a positive campaign in Karnataka.
"This is the victory of everyone, Firstly of the people of Karnataka. We have made five promises to the people of Karnataka and we will fulfil these promises on the first day and in the first cabinet meeting," he said.
