Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday congratulated PM Modi and BJP for poll victory in UP and Uttarakhand.

"I congratulate Shri. Narendra Modi and the BJP on their victory in Uttar Pradesh & Uttarakhand," Rahul's tweet had read.

BJP captured Uttar Pradesh in a thumping victory in, bagging more than 300 seats and followed it up with another comprehensive win in Uttarakhand.
