Congress takes swipe at BJP for not announcing CMs in three States yet

The Congress on December 7 took a swipe at the BJP over it not announcing the Chief Ministers in the three States it won in the recent Assembly polls and asked why the party was not being called out for “what is actually a delay”. In a post on X, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said less than 24 hours after the election results were out on December 3, his party was being criticised in the media by all and sundry for a “so-called delay” in appointing a Chief Minister for Telangana. But three days have gone by and the BJP has been unable to even announce its Chief Ministers for Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, he said. The BJP swept Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh in the recently concluded Assembly elections, inflicting a resounding defeat on the Congress to tighten its stranglehold in the Hindi heartland, in a big boost for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and setting the tone for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
