“We promised five things to the state, and within the first Cabinet meeting, we will make these promises a reality,” Gandhi told reporters outside the Congress headquarters in Delhi, referring to the schemes such as Gruha Jyoti, Gruha Lakshmi, Yuva Nidhi, Shakti, and Anna Bhagya included in the party’s Karnataka poll manifesto.
Gandhi asserted that the Congress had won the poll campaign with the message of love, and reiterated the “shops of love” slogan that he made famous during his Bharat Jodo Yatra campaign. “Today, the people of Karnataka have triumphed. The shops of hate have been shut and the shops of love opened,” he said.
“Congress fought this fight with love and not hatred. Congress leaders did not resort to using hateful terms in the campaign,” he added.
