'The vote of the people is paramount in a democracy. Our workers and leaders worked hard, established the organisation, fought on the issues of the people. But, we were not able to convert our hard work into votes,' Priyanka Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.

'The Congress party, for the betterment of UP and the people, will continue to fulfil the duty of a combative opposition by following a positive agenda,' she said. -- PTI
