Need to introspect assembly poll debacles: Cong spokesperson

Stressing on the need for fixing accountability for electoral losses, Congress today said it needs to go into the reasons for the debacles in the just-concluded assembly elections in four states.
"With continuous election debacles, I don't think Congress has weakened. But yes, we seriously need to introspect into the reasons for the poor performance," party national spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi told reporters here when asked about the party's poor show in Kerala, West Bengal, Assam and Tamil Nadu polls.
She said, "accountability needs to be fixed".
Chaturvedi said the Congress is now more focused on approaching people with what it can offer them.

"We will not just highlight the failures of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government. We will highlight what we can offer to them," she said.
She said the "Modi Wave" which had captured the nation in 2014 is now vanishing.

"The two years of the BJP government are marked with corruption, unfulfilled promises and other factors," she said.
She said the Modi dispensation has not yet got the black money back in the country as it had promised during the 2014 general election campaign nor has it given employment to youths.
On the Congress' prospects in forthcoming assembly polls in Goa, she said her party is open to having alliance with like-minded parties which do not look for "opportunistic alliances".
