Telangana Congress leaders have held responsible the “unilateral and negligent attitude” of AICC general secretary and state party affairs in-charge Digvijay Singh in addition to former Union minister Jairam Ramesh for the party’s dismal performance in the state.
Defeated Telangana Congress MPs, Madhu Yashki Goud, Ponnam Prabhakar, S. Rajaiah, Balaram Naik and Gutta Sukhendar Reddy held a review meeting at former Union minister S. Jaipal Reddy’s home in Delhi on Thursday.
The defeated Telangana Congress MPs confessed that they had failed to take the message that “the Congress had made Telangana statehood possible” to people. They alleged Mr Singh did not bother about Congress victory and came for the election campaign at the last minute.
The Telangana leaders felt it would have been advantageous if they had alliance with the TRS.
They have now come to a decision to meet AICC president Sonia Gandhi and explain the reasons for the defeat.
