Speaking with the media, Renuka Chowdhury said, “We were fighting for our place. We were not with anyone. AAP lost the polls because of their ego. This proves what we were saying earlier. The alliance (INDIA alliance) should remain for the country’s interests. We respect them and believe in them. This (keeping alliance) is the only way where we can stay together to protect the country’s constitution.”
