“We accept the mandate given by the people of Rajasthan with all humility. This is an unexpected result for everyone. This defeat shows that we were not completely successful in taking our plans, laws and innovations to the public”, Gehlot said in his Tweet-X here.

He further said, “I wish the new government all the best. We were not successful despite working hard. That does not mean we should not work after losing power. All our schemes, including the Old Pension Scheme (OPS), Chiranjeevi and the pace of development that we have given to Rajasthan in these five years should be taken forward,” he added.

He expressed his gratitude to all the Congress workers who worked hard for the party during the elections and thanked all the voters who reposed faith in the Congress.
