Shimla : Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee General Secretary Rajneesh Kimta disapproved of Congress leader Harish Rawat’s statement on the party’s loss of momentum for the ensuing polls and said that the Congress party is completely active and has a systematic way of contesting the elections.
“I don’t know what Harish Rawat has said but as far as activeness is concerned, the Congress party is completely active. The Congress has a system to contest polls from booth level to our block, district, and state level. I don’t know in what context Harish Rawat gave the statement. I am not aware of this and disapprove of the statement that Congress is lazy.”
The reaction comes after Congress veteran and former Uttarakhand chief minister Harish Rawat said on Friday that his party had become lazy and that it needs to develop a hunger to regain its lost glory and remove the BJP from the helms.
In a timely word of advice to the Congress amid the string of exits and desertions from the party ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, former chief minister Harish Rawat on Friday said unless his party rediscover its ‘hunger’ for power, they will continue to bleed members and cede more ground to the BJP.
Speaking to ANI on Friday, the former CM and senior Congress leader said, “We have to rediscover and develop that hunger for power within ourselves. Else, we will continue to cede more ground to the BJP after every election.”
“We have gone lazy. BJP has snatched our space at all levels. It’s not limited to the national or state levels alone. Their workers have replaced us even in villages and colonies. We will not be able to become leaders of our colonies, villages, or blocks under these circumstances under present circumstances without having a hunger to win,” he said.
