Jaipur: Senior Congress leader and National General Secretary Jairam Ramesh while addressing a press conference on Saturday (December 10) claimed that Bharat Jodo Yatra has nothing to do with elections. He said that there is no justification for the Bharat Jodo Yatra with the results of the Gujarat assembly elections. However, Jairam Ramesh also said that the party's dismal performance in the Gujarat assembly elections would be analyzed and action would be taken against those responsible.
Addressing the press conference in Bundi, Jairam Ramesh said, 'Gujarat's election results are disappointing for us. The vote share of Congress declined from 40 percent to 27 percent. But 27 percent vote share is a basis and it is not difficult for us to increase the vote share again to 40 percent. The result of the Gujarat assembly elections has not had any impact on the Bharat Jodo Yatra. Our enthusiasm remains the same, although there is also some disappointment. There were some shortcomings in the organization, we have to see, analyze, and then action will be taken. Our party president knows what to do.'
Jairam Ramesh alleged that the machinery of the central and state government was misused in Gujarat and no action was taken even on the complaints of the Congress that the BJP used a girl child in the election campaign. Jairam Ramesh also claimed that it was the alliance of the BJP, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), and AIMIM in Gujarat, which created a hindrance for the Congress. He admitted that there were shortcomings in the organization of the party in the state. Let us tell you that BJP has got a one-sided victory for the 7th consecutive time in Gujarat.
