Bihar Assembly election | Grand Alliance lost because of Congress’ poor performance, says Tariq Anwar

The Hindu  

Senior Congress leader Tariq Anwar on November 12 came out with the candid admission that his party, on account of its dismal performance in the Bihar Assembly elections, emerged as the weak link preventing the Mahagathbandhan from forming its government in the State. Mr. Anwar, an AICC general secretary, came out with a flurry of tweets calling for “urgent and deep introspection” over the debacle of the party, the second largest constituent of the opposition coalition, which contested as many as 70 seats but returned with a tally of just 19. It wanted deliverance from the woes brought about by an incompetent government in the last 15 years.” Mr. Anwar, who was a member of the campaign committee set up by the Congress for the Assembly polls, also took a dig at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, whose JD has witnessed a sharp decline in its tally compared to what it was five years ago, and now has far fewer seats than the BJP. “Apparently, 70 assembly segments in Bihar were too much to handle for the Congress,” said Bhattacharya, whose party is a part of the Mahagathbandhan and has come out with a stellar performance, winning 12 seats out of the 19 it had contested.
