The Congress party has blamed the Election Commission for its recent electoral defeats and has criticized the party’s leadership as "idea-less", accusing it of forming parasitic alliances with state governments.
In the wake of its recent electoral setbacks, the Indian National Congress has publicly blamed the Election Commission for the losses, alleging that the body’s decisions and conduct during the elections were detrimental to the party’s performance.
During a press conference, senior Congress leaders pointed to what they described as procedural irregularities and biased practices by the Commission, claiming that these factors skewed the electoral outcome in favor of rival parties.
The leaders went further to criticize the party’s own leadership, labeling it "idea-less" and accusing it of forming parasitic alliances with state governments that they say have diluted Congress’s core values and alienated voters.
The remarks come at a time when Congress is reassessing its strategy ahead of upcoming state elections, and the party’s criticism of the Election Commission could influence its campaign narrative and public perception.
