Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said that with Karnataka win, the party's faith in the country's resilience is restored. "India is very resilient towards the kind of hate that was being forced upon by the BJP. The kind of narrative they tried to bring to Karnataka was rejected," Mr Khera said. "What we were lacking was that even when we whispered the truth, they lied loudly - that's what has changed. Now we are heard," he said.
