Telangana Congress celebrates Karnataka victory
As it became clear that the Congress was racing ahead to get a majority in the Karnataka Assembly, celebrations started at Gandhi Bhavan, the headquarters of Telangana Congress.
Party functionaries were seen dancing amid the drumbeats. Holding party flags and the cut-outs of Congress leaders -- Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, the party workers joined the celebrations.
The enthusiastic Congress workers were also seen bursting firecrackers and distributing sweets. Some party workers took out a bike rally to celebrate the victory.
Congress in-charge for Telangana Manikrao Thakare, state Congress chief A. Revanth Reddy and other leaders performed 'puja' at a temple as thanksgiving.
They exuded confidence that the Congress party will repeat the performance in Telangana, where elections are due to be held later this year.
