Former Union Minister Chinta Mohan said that the Congress should consider following effective strategies to stage a comeback in Andhra Pradesh as well as ally with regional parties ahead of the 2024 general and assembly elections.
Addressing the party cadres at the “Save Democracy” program organised by the Chittoor District Congress Committee (DCC) here on Wednesday, Chinta Mohan said that it was unfortunate that the Congress, which used to win 41 out of 42 Lok Sabha seats in the united Andhra Pradesh, had been reduced zero in the present state, coming to the representation both in Lok Sabha and the state assembly. “There should be a serious introspection in the party to find out the reasons behind the debacle,” the Congress leader said.
Chinta Mohan observed that six decades ago, the Congress was in power in Tamil Nadu, but lost to the regional parties owing to the Hindu language barrier. In Bihar, the Congress was not successful in highlighting its services to the OBCs through the Mandal Commission. In Uttar Pradesh, the demolition of the Babri Masjid during the P.V. Narasimha Rao government stood as an obstacle for the party.
