"Unstoppable": Congress Credits Rahul Gandhi's 'Yatra' For Karnataka Lead

Just as trends from the counting of votes for the Karnataka Assembly elections placed Congress ahead of rival BJP, the grand old party started crediting former party president Rahul Gandhi's pan-India foot march "Bharat Jodo Yatra" for the state continuing a 38-year trend where the ruling party has never returned to power for a second consecutive term.

Soon after the counting of votes started, the official Twitter account of the party this morning posted a video montage of Mr Gandhi's pictures from the Bharat Jodo Yatra with the popular English song "Unstoppable" playing in the background. The two top Karnataka Congress leaders who have steered the party in the state -- DK Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah -- were absent from the video.
