December 11, 2018 20:04

Rahul Gandhi's press conference continues:

"We will defeat BJP's ideology. We have defeated them today, we will defeat them in 2019. But we don't want a BJP-mukt Bharat.

"The Opposition is strongly united and will fight together in 2019 polls.

"There is a clear feeling in the country that PM Modi has failed to deliver what he had committed.

"It's now time for change. We are going to provide the three states with a vision for overall development.

"Selection of chief ministers in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh will be done smoothly.

"The ideology of SP and BSP is similar to that of Congress. We were open to alliance with them, but it did not work out."
