Congress to introspect reasons for total wipe out in Delhi

The Congress Tuesday said it would introspect the reasons that knocked it out cold in Delhi with zero seats in the assembly polls.

"The Congress party accepts the will of the people with humility and will sincerely introspect the reasons behind its loss," the party said in a statement.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) registered a near clean sweep with 67 seats in the 70-member assembly, relegating the Bharatiya Janata Party to mere three seats, while the Congress failed to even open its account.

Congratulating AAP and its chief ministerial candidate Arvind Kejriwal for their "historical" victory, the Congress said its own "loss has registered strongly with us and we will take all steps to establish our connect with the people".

"The Congress party will rebuild its support amongst the people by working on and executing the core ideas that the party has stood for the last 130 years of its inception," the statement said.
