‘Next poll is ours’: Rahul Gandhi exhorts allies to ‘stand together & resist’

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi told his INDIA bloc allies that it is easy to beat the BJP if they stand together and resist. He said the Congress will accept criticism from allies with a smile, comparing it to the Shaiva tradition of the blue-necked one who drinks all the poison. Gandhi appealed to regional parties to change their mindset, saying the BJP controls institutions of the state and the challenge is not winning the next election but addressing the people's anger.
