After the crushing defeat in the assembly elections held in five states, the demand for a change in the Congress leadership has started rising once again. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has talked about revitalizing the party. Tharoor has also described the Congress party as the most reliable opposition party. Tharoor has earlier also demanded changes and reforms in the party.
Sharing a chart of the number of MLAs from different parties in the country, Shashi Tharoor tweeted, “This is the reason why Congress remains the most credible National Opposition party. That is why reforms and revitalization are necessary. Tharoor’s remarks came when the Congress Working Committee meeting was also going on. In this meeting, many senior leaders including party president Sonia Gandhi, former president Rahul Gandhi, general secretary Priyanka Gandhi attended.
Shashi Tharoor is one of the G-23 leaders of the Congress. Apart from these, a total of 23 leaders including Ghulam Nabi Azad, Kapil Sibal, Manish Tewari are involved. In August 2020, 23 Congress leaders wrote to Sonia Gandhi demanding active leadership and comprehensive changes in the organisation. Since then these leaders remain in the discussion and whenever the party has to face defeat, then these leaders keep repeating their demand.
Supporting the leadership of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi ahead of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Sunday said that Rahul Gandhi is the only person who is fighting Prime Minister Narendra Modi with all his might. .
Congress has suffered a crushing defeat in the assembly elections held in five states. Power has also been lost in Punjab. Apart from this, the party’s performance in UP, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur has once again been disappointing. Congress Working Committee meeting was held on Sunday to brainstorm on the crushing defeat in the elections.
