'Rahul faced brickbats, now he deserves bouquets in equal measure'

Reacting to the trends in Assembly election results, Congress leader Milind Deora said on Tuesday that party Chief Rahul Gandhi, who was blamed for past defeats, now deserves accolades in equal measure. The Congress was leading in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan in the Assembly polls as per the Election Commission data. Deora, a former Mumbai South Lok Sabha MP, said a key takeway from the result was that the states in the Hindi heartland want development and not divisive politics.

I congratulate the courage of the voters who did not think about the useless question of who would be the choice (to the ruling parties in five states). They (voters) did not think about EVMs, distribution of money, hooliganism or who would be the alternative to all of this, but rejected those they did not want. True courage is not worrying about future. The courage of voters has shown the country the way forward
