“The current atmosphere in the state is the impact that the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra had made earlier and we can see the outcome in the Karnataka election results today,” Gehlot was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

The senior Congress leader said that the similar trend will be repeated in the upcoming Vidhan Sabha elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Telangana.
