NEW DELHI: As the counting of votes enters its final phase, Congress has suffered humiliating defeats in all the five states namely Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa, Uttarakhand and Manipur. While the party witnessed a bitter defeat in Uttar Pradesh, it was completely wiped out from Punjab, the state where it had been ruling for the past five years. Meantime, Congress’ tweet hinting that they will never fall apart despite huge defeat, has now gained wide attention.
The tweet had surfaced in Congress’ official twitter handle at around 12 noon. The Congress has tweeted the words of Rahul Gandhi. The message contains a part of Rahul’s speech, which he delivered during his poll campaigns. “Fear is a choice. When we’re scared of something, we are choosing to be scared of it. We consciously decide that we’re going to be scared”, Congress tweeted quoting Rahul Gandhi. “No matter what you do, I am not scared”, said Rahul in the tweet.
Fear is a choice. When we're scared of something, we are choosing to be scared of it. We consciously decide that we're going to be scared.

But there is also another decision: You can turn around & say I'm not scared.
