After the Congress took a lead shortly after the counting of votes began for the Karnataka Assembly election on Saturday morning, Congress tweeted a video with collage of its leader Rahul Gandhi’s images with Sia’s song ‘Unstoppable’. What’s interesting is the song by Sia was used as a background score for Wonder Woman in DC Comics movies.

Trends showed the Congress leading against the BJP in what was seen to be a close contest. A party or a coalition requires the magic number of 113 seats in the 224-member Karnataka Assembly to form the government in Karnataka.

The images used in the collage were from Rahul Gandhi’s mass-connect programme, Bharat Jodo Yatra. Rahul covered 3,570 km across 12 states in 136 days during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
The tweet could be the Congress’s way of attributing some part of the Karnataka success to Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra.
The song ‘Unstoppable’ by Sia somehow has become synonymous with DC Comics’ Wonder Woman, played by Gal Gadot. The character is part of DC’s Justice League.
Wonder Woman was Diana, princess of the Amazons. The demigodess was trained to be an unconquerable warrior.
The tweet came even as Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi reached Jakhu Hanuman Mandir in Himachal Pradesh ahead of the declaration of the results in Karnataka.
As per initial trends, BJP turncoat Jagadish Shettar, who is contesting the Karnataka polls on a Congress ticket, was trailing in the Hubli-Dharwad Central constituency, early trends showed. Priyank Kharge, son of Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, was leading in Chittapur.
