Mangalore, Dec 11: Welcoming the results in Mizoram state legislative assembly, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) secretary Ivan D’Souza said that electoral defeat of the Congress party in four states, i.e. Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, would not affect the party to win in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Internal strife is the main reason for the four states defeat in the election he added.
Speaking to media persons at a press conference here on Monday, he said that though the electoral results in four states were not up to the party’s expectations, the party has located its mistakes and will rectify the same.
It is false that the soaring victory of the BJP in the four states was due to ‘Modi wave’. Their victory was mainly due to the work and achievements of their local leaders.
He said that the Congress was confident of forming UPA government in the Lok Sabha elections next year.
He said that a co-ordination committee meeting would be held in Bangalore on Saturday in the presence of Congress leader Digvijay Singh.
