Rahul Gandhi said,&quot;I feel sad for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He got a massive mandate in 2014 but was unsuccessful in changing the fate of India.&quot;

Congress President Rahul Gandhi: The ideology of SP, BSP and Congress is the same - different from that of BJP. There will not be a big issue of Chief Minister face. It will be done smoothly.

When PM Modi was elected, he was elected on three planks -- jobs, farmers and corruption. Now, the people think that Modi is himself corrupt. Before, people did not question his probity. Now, they do: Rahul Gandhi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has no delivered on his promises, said Rahul Gandhi

We are going to provide these states a vision. We are going to provide these states a govt that they can be proud of: Rahul Gandhi

With a resurgent Congress party in these states, and in states where the BJP is in power, and with a united Opposition, it will become very difficult for PM Modi to win the 2019 general elections: Rahul Gandhi

I think there are serious question being asked about the future of our youngsters. The central question is how does our government intentd to give jobs to the millions of our youth. There is a feeling among the youth that the promise of jobs has not been met: Rahul Gandhi on whether poll results are a referendum on PM Modi&#39;s popularity.
