CHENNAI, DECEMBER 13: While the electorate in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections clearly rejected the policies pursued by the Congress headed by Sonia Gandhi, why did the Congress continue to grope in the dark, asked BJP general secretary M Venkaiah Naidu, MP, on Monday.
Naidu, who is in Chennai to inspect the arrangements for the three-day sessions of the BJP’s executive and national council, beginning from December 27, was addressing a media conference at the BJP party office.
Ridiculing the Congress party’s attempts at “introspection” to find out why it ended up with an all-time low tally in the elections, he said two factors stood out in the verdict. Approval of the BJP Government’s performance since March 1998 (a mandate for Atal Behari Vajpayee) and disapproval of Congress programmes and its “leadership that was not mature and acceptable.”
