Indore, November 28: Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh today held Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav responsible for his party’s debacle in Bihar Assembly elections.
“We had to pay a price in the Bihar polls because of Lalu. Congress in Bihar had twice supported Lalu to form government in that state in past to keep BJP out of power. Due to this we suffered the loss,” Singh told reporters here.
Asked whether Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi’s charisma failed to work in Bihar, Singh said Rahul’s influence remains intact but the strength to make voters collectively go to the polling station counts.
Stressing the need of strengthening the party’s base in Bihar, Congress general secretary said Congress has to prepare new leadership.
