Rahul Gandhi, Congress general secretary on Tuesday accepted and take the responsibility for the party's disastrous showing in Uttar Pradesh where he aggressively led the election campaign.
"I fought, so it is my responsibility (for what happened)," Rahul Gandhi told reporters here.
"We fought well but the results are not so good," he said, looking tired but managing a smile now and then.
"I promised to the people of UP that I will be seen with the poor, on the roads and fields."
"My work will continue. My efforts will be to re-erect the Congress in UP."
"One or two reasons are very clear... Organisationally we are not where we should be. And the general mood was for the Samajwadi Party..."
"The Congress fundamentals were weak. Until we set that right, that weakness will not go away."
"Overall our position has improved but it has to be taken forward."
"We have not done well in the whole of UP," he said.
"I view my work as working for the people of this country, trying to improve the political system of this country."
"Certainly I expect to have victories on my way, and defeats. It will be a good lesson for me."
