Fissures within the Congress party appear to deepen with Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury now attacking Kapil Sibal for his “introspective” comment. The deputy said that his colleague has shown extreme concern about self-analysis after Bihar’s defeat, but the big party did not even see his face in the recently concluded elections.
“Kapil Sibal spoke about this even earlier. He seems to be very concerned about the Congress party and the need for introspection. But we did not see his face in elections in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh or Gujarat,” Chowdhury was quoted as saying. as saying by AND ME.
Warning Sibal that his mere talks will accomplish nothing, the congressional deputy added: “If Kapil Sibal had gone to Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, he could have shown that what he is saying is correct and that he strengthened the position of Congress. Speaking without doing something does not mean introspection. “
Sibal, a former union minister, had tagged his media interview and tweeted: “We haven’t heard the latest polls yet … Maybe the leadership in Congress thinks it should continue as usual.” Congress won 19 of the 70 seats it contested in Bihar as part of the great alliance led by RJD. The opposition alliance ended with 110 seats, while the NDA retained power with 125 seats in the 243-member assembly. Sibal was part of a group of 23 senior congressional leaders who in August had written to the party’s chief, Sonia Gandhi, suggesting ways to reactivate the organization.
Against Sibal, Gehlot said: “There are several reasons for the electoral losses. But each time the rank and file of the Congress Party have shown firm and undivided faith in the leadership of the party and that is why we came out of it stronger and united. after each crisis … Even today, Congress is the only party that can hold this Nation together and take it forward on the path of integral development. “
After the party’s poor show in the Bihar polls, Karti Chidambaram also launched into introspection and called for an internal discussion about the losses. Karti, son of former trade union minister P Chidambaram, said in a tweet: “It is time for us to introspect, devise, consult and act at @INCIndia.” The Lok Sabha MP from Sivaganga in Tamil Nadu made the cryptic comment while tagging a tweet from Sibal in his interview.
Congressional leader Sanjay Nirupam demanded that party leaders who were responsible for making decisions in the Bihar elections be held accountable for the sad spectacle, but defended Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi only went to the party’s campaign, but was not responsible for the decisions made in Bihar, Nirupam added.
