Various internal and external factors contributed to the Congress party’s dismal outcome in the recently concluded elections in Uttarakhand, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Goa and Manipur. The Congress Working Committee will introspect on the issues that led to the poor electoral performance, said All India Congress Committee secretary Madhu Goud Yashki on Saturday.
“TMC and others affected Congress prospects in Goa and Uttarakhand. AIMIM worked as BJP’s B team in U.P.,” he said, while adding that Punjab scenario would serve as a ‘lesson on unity’ to Telangana Congress leaders.
Addressing mediapersons at Gandhi Bhavan here along with TPCC chief A. Revanth Reddy, senior leaders J. Geeta Reddy and Anjan Kumar Yadav, campaign committee chairman Mr. Goud said the performance should not dishearten Congress cadres as the grand old party had witnessed bleaker situations in the past, but had a glorious bounce back tradition.
