NEW DELHI: Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday expressed happiness over the assembly polls outcome, particularly in the Hindi heartland states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.
Reacting to the results that were in favour of her party, Gandhi called this a 'Congress victory over BJP's negative politics' and said she was 'happy' with the results.
The three crucial victories are expected to revive the political fortunes of the Congress that suffered a string of embarrassing defeats since 2014 when the Modi-led NDA stormed to power at the Centre. It's also proven that Rahul Gandhi, who took over as president of the Congress from his mother Sonia Gandhi exactly a year ago on December 11, 2017, is a viable alternative to Narendra Modi in 2019.
Sonia, who is chairperson of the UPA alliance, helmed the Congress for 19 years before handing over the reins to Rahul.
