Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi on Monday thanked the people of Kerala for delivering what they described as a “decisive mandate” to the United Democratic Front (UDF) in the Assembly elections, pledging to honour the trust placed in the alliance over the next five years.
Expressing gratitude to voters, Rahul Gandhi said Kerala had now given the UDF a government with a vision to unlock the state’s talent and potential.
“Thank you to my brothers and sisters in Keralam for a truly decisive mandate,” he said.
Congratulating UDF workers and leaders, Rahul added, “Keralam has the talent, Keralam has the potential and now Keralam has a UDF government with a vision to harness both.”
He also said he looked forward to meeting the people of Kerala soon.
Priyanka Gandhi also thanked the people of Kerala for their “overwhelming support,” saying the faith shown in the alliance would serve as its guiding force in government.
“The trust you have placed in us will be the UDF’s guiding force as we work hard towards building a better future for each one of you,” she said.
She added that the alliance would strive to fulfil its commitments “with honesty and humility” over the next five years.
Priyanka Gandhi separately thanked voters in Wayanad, where she said the UDF had secured all seven seats.
“To my family in Wayanad, you have renewed your belief in the UDF with a resounding mandate - 7 out of 7 seats!!” she said.
She added that Wayanad would now have eight representatives working together for the district’s development.
Both leaders also praised UDF workers and leaders for their campaign efforts.
Priyanka Gandhi congratulated party workers for taking the alliance’s message of a “united and progressive Keralam” to every household.
“May the next five years strengthen your resolve to serve the people of Keralam,” she said.
