We accept mandate with humility: Rahul Gandhi after Congress's Delhi polls debacle
New Delhi/IBNS: As the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) registered a thumping victory in the Delhi Assembly polls and the Congress scored zero seats, Rahul Gandhi said his party accepts the mandate with humility.
He thanked Congress workers and voters and said the Opposition party would continue to fight for the national capital's progress and its residents' rights.
"We accept Delhi's public mandate with humility. I thank all Congress workers for their dedication and all voters for their support. Pollution, price rise and corruption -- the fight for Delhi's progress and Delhiites' rights will continue," he said in a post on X.
दिल्ली का जनादेश हम विनम्रता से स्वीकार करते हैं।

प्रदेश के सभी कांग्रेस कार्यकर्ताओं को उनके समर्पण और सभी मतदाताओं को उनके समर्थन के लिए दिल से धन्यवाद।
प्रदूषण, महंगाई और भ्रष्टाचार के विरुद्ध - दिल्ली की प्रगति और दिल्लीवासियों के अधिकारों की यह लड़ाई जारी रहेगी।
The BJP won 48 seats in the 70-member Assembly and the incumbent AAP finished at 22.
The Congress bagged an unflattering hat-trick of getting zero seats in three elections in 2015, 2020, and 2025.
The AAP and the Congress had contested last year's Lok Sabha election in an alliance but fought the Delhi elections separately.
The BJP swept all seven parliamentary seats in the national capital.
Owing to local rivalries, the former allies could not reach an agreement for the capital contest.
