New Delhi: The Congress on Saturday shared a montage video of its leader Rahul Gandhi, after the party returned to the power in Karnataka by ousting the BJP, with a ‘landslide’ win.
In the 50-seconds video shared by the party on social media, there are various clips of Rahul along with people from different sections, who had joined him during his ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’. The video has the background music of song ‘Unstoppable’ by Sia.
Referring to Rahul, the Congress captioned video as “I’m invincible, I’m so confident, Yeah, I’m unstoppable today”.
The Yatra-led by the former party president which had started from Tamil Nadu’s Kanyakumari on September last year, traversed through several states including Karnataka and concluded in Jammu and Kashmir in January.
The Congress had said the Yatra was its “most decisive mass contact programme”.
Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi while talking to the reporters at the party headquarters, congratulated the people of Karnataka and party leaders, and said , “This is the victory of Karnataka.”
In a veiled attack on the BJP, the former Congress chief said, “In Karnataka elections, on one side was the power of ‘crony capitalists’, while on the other side was the strength of the people. The strength of the poor has defeated the power of the capitalists.”
The same will happen in other states also, he opined.
“Congress stood by the people and raised their issues. We fought with love. The market of ‘hatred’ has closed in Karnataka and the shop of love has opened,” elated Rahul said.
He also said that the five guarantees as promised will be fulfilled at the first sitting of the state Cabinet.
Earlier in the day, Congress stalwart and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah while taking to reporters in Karnataka, expressed hope that the former party president will become the Prime Minister in 2024.
