The stunning defeat of the Congress in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan not only reflected the failure of the top leadership in being assertive with regard to decision making but also the overconfidence of regional straps.
The contrast is sharper if one compares how the party managed the elections in Telangana with party strategist Sunil Kanugolu, who had earlier successfully worked in Karnataka.
From gathering feedback on potential candidates to designing the party’s election promises, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) chief Revanth Reddy worked closely with Mr. Kanugolu.
