Congress leaderRahul Gandhi accepted his party’s fate and shared his thoughts on twitter.
“Humbly accept the people’s verdict. Best wishes to those who have won the mandate. My gratitude to all Congress workers and volunteers for their hard work and dedication. We will learn from this and keep working for the interests of the people of India,” Gandhi tweeted.
The other party that too was badly trounced was theBSP , which has once ruled in the state under the leadership of Mayawati . BSP got only one seat.
TheBharatiya Janata Party (BJP), currently, is leading by 244 seats with the Samajwadi Party (SP) emerging as a strong opposition party securing137 seats.
The Congress campaign had been led byRahul Gandhi ’s sister, Priyanka Gandhi , with the party banking on her charisma to reach out to the electorate. The party had also fielded a number of women candidates, but the effort did not bear fruit.
Celebrations by the BJP workers broke out in different parts of the state as soon as it became apparent that the party was going to retain power.
