New Delhi: After leaders of regional parties reacted sharply to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks on regional parties, Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) MLC and former Nizamabad MP, K Kavitha on Wednesday called Congress a 'tail party'.
"Regional parties have a clear agenda for people, Rahulji should understand even in Maharashtra they're in power because of a regional party there. In Maharashtra, Congress is the tail party, tomorrow it'll be the tail party in the country & regional parties will take lead," news agency ANI said, quoting the Kavitha.

Kavitha further said that the grand old party has also expressed the success of the regional parties. "We're successful because we perform. Unlike Congress party, we don't have a leadership crisis," she told news agency ANI, adding, "Congress discussed reviving their party...Our country is reeling with unemployment & communal disharmony."
On the last day of Congress' "Chitan Shivir" on Sunday (May 15), Rahul Gandhi said that Congress was mounting a resistance against the onslaught of the RSS unlike regional parties which "lack an ideology".
"The BJP will talk about the Congress, will talk about Congress leaders, will talk about Congress workers but will not talk about regional parties because they know that regional parties have their place but they cannot defeat BJP because they don't have an ideology," Moneycontrol said, quoting Gandhi.
