Senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram has termed the party’s debacle in the recently held Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan Assembly polls as "unexpected" and "a matter of worry".
In an exclusive interview to PTI, Mr. Chidambaram on December 17 said the BJP fights every election "as if it is the last battle" and that is what Opposition parties "must realise".
"BJP’s victory in three States — Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh — is a major boost for the party ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. The defeat of the Congress in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan was unexpected. The results are worrying and I believe the party’s leadership will address the weaknesses," the former Union Finance Minister said.
