Ahmed Patel won by the skin of his teeth after the Election Commission rejected the votes of two Congress rebel legislators.

He needed 44 votes to win and he got 44, returning to the Rajya Sabha from Gujarat for a fifth term in a bitterly fought election that became a massive prestige battle between the Congress and the BJP.

"I am happy and relieved with his victory," Mrs Gandhi said, admitting that there was "so much tension."

She said she did not want to comment on the Gujarat situation. "My colleagues in the party have already spoken on this."
