The Congress was in a celebration mode in Rajasthan as the party won three out of four seats in the state in the recently held bypolls.

Rajasthan Congress chief Sachin Pilot thanked people and said that it was the result of the party's hard work in the past few months. "It took a lot of hard work in the past 3 to 4 months. Team work paid off," Pilot said.

But he did not make the cardinal mistake of hogging all the credit and immediately qualified the win saying the Congress win was under the leadership of the Gandhis. (Note the plural).

Asked about the factors that may have led to the Bharatiya Janata Party's defeat in the bypolls, Pilot said, "India has moved beyond love-jihad and Hindu-Muslim issues." At the same time he added, "The big picture is not who said what but the improvement in Congress's performance. What matters is the hard work and the verdict."
