#TechTodayCongress | "We have given 5 guarantees, we had a cabinet meeting and we all deliberated, our CM has a track record of being a finance man and he calculates everything, what I should promise and what can I deliver," @MBPatil said
#TechTodayCongress | @rahulkanwal asked, "After 2014, Congress has been so used to losing, how does it feel to have won such a big victory in a big state like Karnataka?"
#TechTodayCongress | @dineshgrao said, "It is not that Congress has been losing, it's just a perception. When Congress lost Karnataka, we subsequently won Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab"
#TechTodayCongress | "When BJP loses, it is not big news, when Congress loses it becomes big news, Karnataka was a huge loss for BJP with Amit Shah and PM putting in everything to win the state", says @dineshgrao
#TechTodayCongress | "We need a balance and we have lost that balance in India in terms of the way the political dispensation is working, it is almost dictatorial, we need to listen to different voices, voices of dissent," says @dineshgrao

industry minister, they came and met me and discuss the bottlenecks. We concluded it and promised them the date when the govt. will deliver"
