With Congress looking set to sweep the Karnataka elections, party leader Rahul Gandhi, in his first reaction, spoke on "politics of hatred" being defeated.
He said, "First and foremost, this is a victory of the people. We had made 5 promises to the people of Karnataka, to the poor people. We will fulfil those promises on the first day, in the first Cabinet meeting."
"I want to congratulate and thank the people of Karnataka from my heart," he added.
