Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president Ponnala Lakshmaiah on Friday accepted the defeat in the general elections.
Speaking to media persons at Gandhi Bhavan here, Ponnala said that the party needs to introspect the reasons that led to the defeat. He said he had very little time to work for the party as he was given the charge immediately after the passing of Telangana Bill in Parliament. However, he said that the Congress party would play the role of a constructive opposition. Further, he said that the party would be strengthened at all levels. (INN)
