Congress MP Shashi Tharoor spoke openly about his party’s performance after election results from four states and one Union Territory. Moreover, he said Congress must now assess itself with seriousness. Earlier, the party had discussed self-reflection. However, after these results, Tharoor said Congress must treat that review with greater urgency.
Kerala Result Offers Congress A Model
Tharoor also pointed to Kerala while explaining the road ahead for Congress. According to him, Congress performed well in Kerala. Therefore, the party must understand what worked there. Further, Congress should examine how it can apply that model in other states. He called this a major lesson for the party. Consequently, Congress can use that learning to shape its future strategy.
Tharoor Praises BJP’s Election Machinery
Meanwhile, Tharoor also discussed BJP’s election work. He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah worked well in Bengal and Assam. Additionally, he said BJP runs elections in a highly professional manner. According to him, BJP has strong organisational strength. Also, the party uses major resources in campaigns, including money.
Other Parties Should Learn, Says Tharoor
Tharoor further said other parties need to learn from these aspects of BJP’s approach. However, he also added a larger hope. He said BJP’s message should connect people across the country. Instead, he said it should not divide them. Thus, his remarks mixed praise for BJP’s campaign style with a wider appeal for unity.
Assembly Results Show Mixed Political Picture
BJP achieved victories in Bengal, Assam, and Puducherry. Meanwhile, Congress recorded a strong win in Kerala. Also, Vijay’s TVK registered an impressive victory in Tamil Nadu. Therefore, the results created a mixed political picture. For Congress, Tharoor’s advice focused on review, learning, and future planning after the election outcome.
