Cong Leaders React To Dismal Delhi Results; Twitter Not Surprised

Congress leaders react to party’s poor performance in Delhi Assembly elections. Twitter not surprised by the results

The broom appears to have swept across Delhi and Twitter.

According to afternoon trends released by the Election Commission on 11 February, the Aam Aadmi Party is leading in 57 constituencies out of the 70, while the BJP is down to 13 constituencies and Congress has zero in its kitty.

This hasn't come as a surprise to many. Since 2014 - the grand old party secured zero seats, whether it was the 2014 and 2019 General elections, or the 2015 State elections.

However, reacting to its latest defeat in this year's Assembly election in the national capital, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury dodged the party's overall performance but praised AAP for its fight against the BJP.

Congress MP AR Chowdhury: Everyone knew that Aam Aadmi Party will return to power for the third time. Congress's defeat will not send a good message. The victory of AAP against the Bharatiya Janata Party & its communal agenda is significant. pic.twitter.com/HD2vQhFfpn

The first step to renewal is accepting the reality of a serious problem. Living in denial is postponing the inevitable.

The Congress party needs a complete reinvention, and it needs to look different in 6 months maximum. It cannot be a 5 year project. #DelhiResults

Congress has maintained its position in Delhi polls, no change in their status. No win earlier no win now. The party badly needs a leader which they don’t have or hope to have in near future.
