Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday, December 12, described the party's good showing in the assembly poll in three Hindi heartland states as a victory over the BJP's "negative politics".

Sonia Gandhi's reaction came after the Congress ousted BJP governments in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.

Expressing happiness over the polls outcome, the UPA chairperson said it was a "Congress victory over the BJP's negative politics".

A resurgent Congress on Tuesday, December 11, made significant gains in the Assembly elections, dealing a body blow to the BJP in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, while emerging as the single largest party in Madhya Pradesh.
