“Today is the day of the mandate and I don’t want to colour the decision by getting into what went wrong, he said.

“Frankly, today is the not the day to discuss what I think went wrong because people of India have clearly decided that Narendra Modi is going to be their Prime Minister and as an Indian I respect that.

Rahul also conceded defeat in Amethi, saying, “I respect the decision and congratulate Smriti Iraniji. I request her to return the love Amethi gave her.”
