‘We will definitely introspect’

Asked about the assembly poll results, Venugopal told reporters, “Success is success. We are congratulating people who won the election. We will definitely introspect what happened in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, we had hopes of winning these states.”

“Last election in 2018, we swept all three states, how many Parliamentary seats did we get from these states? Only three seats. That is why I say every election is different,” he said.

On the differences among INDIA bloc partners and the meeting earlier on Monday, Venugopal said, “Nothing. Today we had a morning meeting, and all parties came. INDIA was formed to have a wider perspective for Parliament elections.

“They have the freedom to tell all these complaints, some complaints may be genuine too. We will examine and correct what is required,” he said.

Asked about the election results, Congress leader in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said, “They are sloganeering ‘Modi ji ki jeet hai’, is it not that of the BJP, of the RSS. Modi ji himself said it is of the people, farmers. They have to decide whose victory it is.”
