New Delhi: Breaking his silence on the party's defeat in three northeast states, Congress president Rahul Gandhi today said he respected the mandate of people in the region and was committed to winning back their trust.
Mr Gandhi's reaction came two days after results for assembly elections in Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland were declared on Saturday. The Congress lost Meghalaya and failed to score a single seat in Tripura and Nagaland.
The party won 21 seats in Meghalaya, where it was in power, and could not garner the support of regional outfits to cobble together a coalition government.
"The Congress party respects the mandate of the people of Tripura, Nagaland and Meghalaya.
The Congress president had announced on Thursday that he would visit his 93-year-old grandmother in Italy over the Holi weekend.
