Assembly Election Results: Congress's shocking statement after defeat in Maharashtra | Maharashtra Elections 2024

'It is sad, see, there is sadness after losing elections, but not despair and despair, and I also want to say that the sadness is not just about the fact that Maha Vikas Aghaadi did not perform very well, but also about the fact that if they talk about it somewhere or the other, they will bite the dust, they will raise the flag in Pakistan, a Rawadi culture about which the Prime Minister himself kept opposing it being the face and along with that 50 people lost everything, okay, all in one go, how can we do it?' That tribal identity, social justice and social welfare were bigger issues there and I absolutely agree with what Abhay Dubey ji said to me earlier that the ED, CBI, Income Tax were made puppets and opposition leaders were harassed forcefully, I think it had a very negative impact on the Bharatiya Janata Party in Jharkhand and the people were happy with the way Hemant Soren and the Congress party ran the government together. Now I want to say one more thing, another trend was seen in this election Sandeep ji, that was that if women feel that they will get it or not, if the government is formed after winning the election, will they get benefit or not, that is a different issue, but if women feel that someone is talking about their rights, their rights are being increased, then they are coming as a vote bank and giving their vote or their mandate, I think they will keep moving ahead and I definitely want to say that it is true that when disaster strikes, it only frightens the cowards, the brave do not get disturbed, they do not lose patience even for a moment. We make our way through the thorns, we overcome the adversity ourselves, so we will learn from this defeat in the election, we will also learn from the victory in Jharkhand and Congress will have to face the elections in Delhi and Bihar which are next year'
