TIL Desk/National/Belagavi (Karnataka)/ An upbeat Congress President Rahul Gandhi has asserted that the ruling party would win the Karnataka assembly poll and return to power again. “The Congress will win the assembly election in Karnataka again and return to power as our government fulfilled all the promises it made and lived up to the people’s expectations,” said an elated Gandhi at a public rally near Ramdurg in the state’s northwest border district.
Resuming his tirade against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, Gandhi said though they both have money and media with them, the Congress had the people with it because of its good governance in the state. The Congress returned to power in the southern state in the May 2013 assembly election a decade after it lost power in 2004 state poll.
Gandhi was on a three-day visit to the state since Saturday to seek the people’s blessings in the assembly poll, due in April-May, through the Jan Aashirwada Yatra, organised by the party’s state unit. Exuding confidence of the Congress being re-elected, Gandhi hinted that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah would lead the poll campaign with the party’s state leaders to develop Karnataka into a model state for others to follow.
“Siddaramaiah and I will take the state forward after winning the upcoming election,” reiterated Gandhi though the party had not projected its next chief minister in the event of winning the assembly poll.
