NEW DELHI: Following a better-than-expected performance in the Gujarat assembly elections, Congress today termed the results of the Gujarat assembly elections a "moral victory" for the party.
"Whatever the results, it was a moral win for Congress. It was a win for Rahul ji's issue-based campaign. BJP in the home state of PM Modi ji and Amit Shah ji is struggling to cross even 100", Congress leader Ashok Gehlot said while addressing the media.
The Congress leader also compared party president Rahul Gandhi's aggressive campaign in the state with Indira Gandhi.
"Congress had a very good campaign in Gujarat, Rahul ji's campaign reminded us of Indira ji and the questions raised by him got no answer from BJP", he added.
Congress leader Randeep Surjewala gave an account of the seats won by the Congress alliance.
"Two Independents who won support Congress+ and so does NCP so the Congress+ tally right now is 84 and BJP is 98-99", he said.
According to the latest reports, Congress is leading on 80 seats, while BJP has managed to secure lead on 99 seats in the 182 seat assembly.
