He said, “In the Karnataka elections, there was crony capitalism on one side, and on the other side there was the power of poor people who defeated the powerful. He further said that Congress stood with the poor and “we fought on their issue”.
“We didn’t fight on hate and we fought on issues of love. We fought with people, and the state has shown that love can win,” he said, adding that this will be repeated in other states too.
“In Karnataka, shops of hatred have closed and shops of love have opened. It is a victory for the people of Karnataka. We made five promises and we will fulfill those promises in our first cabinet meeting,” he added.
The Congress is set to form the government in the southern state. The party headquarters here witnessed a festive mood with workers bursting crackers, dancing to bhangra tunes, and also distributing sweets.
