There is a churn in the party over the poor performance of the Congress in the recently revealed assembly election results of five states (Punjab, Goa, Manipur, Uttarakhand and UP). While the dissatisfaction of G-23 leaders is also being expressed inside the Congress, on the other hand party’s big leader Veerappa Moily has asked senior leaders not to panic, after the Modi era, the BJP will also disintegrate.
Meanwhile, in an interview to The Indian Express, Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said that it is true that this is the first time in the history of Congress that the party is facing a challenging political force under the leadership of Modi-Shah. . Let us tell you that Adhir Ranjan was asked that do you not think that there is a need for major changes in the party after many electoral defeats?
On this he said that Congress is a people based party. Congress does not have any kind of regiment of workers. We believe in a liberal democratic party. But before us is the strategy of Modi and Shah, which is only destroying all the rules, procedures and institutions, regardless of morality and democratic values.
In such a situation, our party is definitely facing a political defeat, he added. But it cannot be said that the entire burden of political defeat lies on the leadership alone. The reasons for the poor performance have to be analyzed and a new approach has to be found.
On taking the Congress forward from the debacle, Choudhary said, “In the CWC meeting, Sonia Gandhi has agreed to organize a contemplation camp. Traditionally the party has been organizing such camps whenever the Congress is in bad times. Be it Pachmarhi or Shimla. There is intense discussion to revive the party. This is not the first time.”
The Congress MP said that when every path is available in front of us, then why should we shout in front of the media? In the last CWC, Sonia Gandhi herself had called for a free and frank discussion. He has said that if the leadership feels that the Gandhi family should be changed, then we are ready to accept it.
