While refraining from speaking about BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi today said here that Congress will win the next general election.
"That is the matter of strategy...You will see that after the elections. We will win next elections," a confident Gandhi said when asked about how his party would counter Modi's campaign onslaught.
"You people had said in 2004 and 2009 that we will lose. But our track-record is good.
"Congress party's campaigning has not started. You will see once our campaign starts," Rahul added.
"He (Modi) is BJP's prime ministerial candidate and not of Congress," Rahul said in reply to a question on what he thought of the Gujarat Chief Minister.
Modi had targeted Rahul recently saying that the Congress vice president committed the "sin" of disrespecting the Prime Minister by opposing the controversial ordinance of convicted lawmakers.
