Rahul Gandhi accepts defeat in assembly polls
By Urvashi Goyal
Indian National Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accepted defeat for his party in the assembly elections. In his tweet on Thursday, Gandhi expressed gratitude towards all Congress workers for their dedication.
"Humbly accept the people’s verdict. Best wishes to those who have won the mandate. We will learn from this and keep working for the interests of the people of India," Rahul Gandhi said.
By early evening, INC secured only 13 seats out of 117 seats in the 2022 Punjab polls. Punjab was a bastion state for the Congress. Congress leader Charanjit S. Channi also congratulated Bhagwant Mann for his victory. “I humbly accept the verdict of the people of Punjab and Congratulate @AamAadmiParty and their elected CM @BhagwantMann Ji for the victory. I hope they will deliver on the expectations of people,” said Channi.
Amarinder Singh, Punjab's former Chief Minister who joined the BJP during these polls, lost his constituency, Patiala Urban, to AAP’s Ajit Pal Singh Kohli. Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi also lost both his seats, Chamkaur Sahib and Bhadaur, to AAP’s Charanjit Singh and AAP’s Labh Singh Ugoke respectively. Congress candidate Malvika Sood, who is a film actor and philanthropist Sonu Sood's sister, lost the Moga assembly seat to AAP's candidate Dr Amandeep Kaur Arora.
The official results are still awaited, but the winning party for the 16th Legislative Assembly Elections in Punjab is clear.
