“I think the Congress party will do very well in the next two years. I think it will,” said 52-year-old Gandhi, a former party president.

“I think there is a hidden undercurrent building…I think (the outcome) will surprise people,” he added.

Referring to the Karnataka assembly elections, in which the Congress won clear majority and ousted the BJP from power., Gandhi said, “Wait and watch the next three or four state elections…. which is a better indicator of what’s going to happen.”

Responding to another question, Gandhi said the Opposition in India is pretty well united. “And I think it’s getting more and more united. We’re having conversations with all the Opposition (parties). I think quite a lot of good work is happening.”

“It’s a complicated discussion because there are spaces where we have competing also with (other) Opposition (parties). So, it’s a little bit of give and take as required. But I’m confident that that will happen,” he added.

Mr Gandhi also responded to a number of questions, including those about press and religious freedom in India, minority issues, and the state of the economy.
