Congress leaders in the home town of Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Tuesday hailed the party’s victory in three states as a mandate for the leadership of party president Rahul Gandhi. They said it marked the beginning of the end of the BJP-led NDA government in the country.

Congress leaders and workers gathered outside Congress Bhawan and distributed sweets.

Reacting to the Assembly poll results declared on Tuesday, Rajpura MLA Hardyal Kambhoj said the Congress’ performance showed that it was on an upswing across the country. “The results have clearly shown that the people of India were now fed up of the destructive and anti-development policies of Narendra Modi,” he said.

Congratulating party president Rahul Gandhi as well as UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi for the Congress win in three states of Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, Kambhoj said the victory would infuse more confidence in the party cadre in Punjab and would surely help the Congress in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
