In a veiled jibe at the BJP, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday thanked party workers for fighting "anger with dignity" and demonstrating that the Congress' greatest strength is its "decency and courage", in the Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh state elections.

"My Congress brothers and sisters, you have made me very proud. You are different than those you fought because you fought anger with dignity. You have demonstrated to everyone that the Congress' greatest strength is its decency and courage," Gandhi tweeted. 

My Congress brothers and sisters, you have made me very proud. You are different than those you fought because you fought anger with dignity. You have demonstrated to everyone that the Congress’s greatest strength is its decency and courage.
