Congress leader and former Guna MP Jyotiraditya Scindia said that his party needs to do some introspection.
His comments can be seen as a signal to the party to get things in order. Scindia is apparently miffed not being made party president of Madhya Pradesh as he has thrown his hat into the ring for the job .
Speaking to media, Scindia was responding to a question about senior leader Salman Khurshid’s statement about leadership “vacuum” in the party.
“I don’t comment on others’ statement, but it is true that the Congress needs introspection. The party’s situation should be assessed and improved, and this is the need of the hour,” he said.
Khurshid had said on Monday that the Congress was taking too long to come to terms with its defeat in general elections.
“Our biggest problem is our leader has walked away,” Khurshid said, referring to Rahul Gandhi’s resignation as party chief.
Scindia, meanwhile, expressed confidence that the Congress would do well in the Maharashtra assembly polls.
