Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said "the market of hate has been shut and shops of love have opened" as his party inched toward a big win in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly elections. Notably, the Congress has won or is leading in over 140 seats of the 244-member Assembly, while the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is trailing with only around 60 constituencies.

"This is the victory of Karnataka. We have five promises; we will fulfill them in the first cabinet (meeting)," the recently-disqualified Wayanad MP said.
