We will form government in Assam : Sonia Gandhi

New Delhi, May 11: Congress President Sonia Gandhi today asserted that her party would form a government in Assam, but its performance in Kerala was "disappointing." "We will form our government in Assam," she told mediapersons at her 10 Janpath official residence even as her party workers were shouting pro-Sonia slogans and beating drums outside the campus to celebrate her victory with a huge margin in Rae Bareli Lok Sabha by-elections. Ms Gandhi, said the DPA alliance in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry had fared well in the elections.

"The results in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry are matters to be happy about." She, however, said the poll outcome in Kerala was "disappointing," and that in West Bengal not satisfactory.

In this context, Ms Gandhi said "in some you win...in some you lose. Victory and defeat are natural in politics," she added.
