Highlights Congress needs to hit streets, come out of Twitter, Facebook’: Adhir Ranjan has said
He also cited the lack of support from the central leadership during electioneering in West Bengal
NEW DELHI: Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, senior Congress leader and in charge of the assembly election campaign in West Bengal, has said that the central leadership of his party needs to seriously introspect over its recent whitewash in the TMC-ruled state.
Reflecting on the Congress party’s humiliating defeat in the
state assembly election 2021 in West Bengal and other states, Chowdhury said that Congress needs to hit the streets and come out of Twitter and Facebook.
The Congress has decided to intensify its campaign in the next four phases of elections in West Bengal, which the party thinks are its strongholds as they have considerable minority presence. The districts going to polls in next phases include Murshidabad, Malda, North Dinajpur and other parts of north Bengal, where Congress registered good vote share in the last assembly elections. Murshidabad and Malda are the party strongholds due to family influence of late Rail Minister Abdul Ghani Khan Choudhury, however, the family has now been divided between the TMC and the Congress. Congress observer in the state B.K. Hariprasad, speaking from Bagdogra, West Bengal, said, our focus in the area is to get our votes back to the party fold and the last four phases are crucial for the party.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the Congress over its tie-up with Indian Secular Front (ISF) of Muslim cleric Abbas Siddiqui for the upcoming Assembly polls in West Bengal. Party spokesperson Sambit Pata said that the grand old party has become irrelevant and that it is entering electoral pacts with parties like ISF to retain the Gandhi family s political relevance . Today, the Congress depends on the alliance to maintain its relevance. One such alliance is being done by Rahul Gandhiji and his Congress party in Bengal. All the alliances that Congress has formed have not been done for any good performance, good reforms or good governance. These alliances were done only to somehow retain the Gandhi family s political relevance, Patra said.
