NEW DELHI: 

Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who is credited for steering his party to win in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, has acknowledged the contribution of his team members. He thanked his party's office bearers and "unsung heroes" who, he says, with their "hardwork and dedication" made the victory possible.

"Great teams deliver exceptional results. I want to thank Team AICC - our General Secretaries, State-In-Charges, Secretaries & all the other unsung heroes whose hardwork & dedication made our victories in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh & Rajasthan possible. I salute you!" Mr Gandhi tweeted.

The Congress won the assembly elections in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. While they secured a three-fourth majority in Chhattisgarh, they emerged as the single-largest party in Madhya Pradesh - both states were held by the BJP for the past three terms. In Rajasthan, the victory was not as big as the experts and exit polls predicted, but the Congress managed to get a simple majority. Mr Gandhi's party has formed the government in all the three states.
