Congress defeats not due to EVMs or SIR, but because of poor leadership: Shahnawaz Hussain

BJP's Shahnawaz Hussain says Congress losses stem from leadership failure and policy flaws, not EVMs, as internal dissent grows after major electoral setbacks.

"“Congress leaders have realised that their defeats are not due to EVMs or SIR, but because of the party’s own policies and leadership.” – Shahnawaz Hussain"

New Delhi, Dec 13

BJP national spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain on Saturday launched a sharp attack on the Congress, claiming that voices of dissent are now emerging from within the party as its leaders come to terms with repeated electoral defeats caused by poor leadership and flawed policies rather than external factors.

Speaking to IANS, Hussain said, “Voices are now beginning to emerge from within the Congress party. Congress leaders have realised that their defeats are not due to EVMs or SIR, but because of the party’s own policies and leadership.”

He asserted that Congress is suffering from a leadership vacuum and ideological confusion. “Within Congress, there is neither a clear policy nor effective leaders or leadership,” he added.

Citing recent electoral setbacks, Hussain said the party’s declining performance has demoralised its own cadre. “After being reduced to zero seats in Delhi, winning just six in Bihar, and suffering defeats in Maharashtra and Haryana, many Congress members have begun to lose faith in the party. As a result, questions are now being raised from within the Congress itself,” he said, suggesting that internal dissatisfaction is now out in the open.

The BJP spokesperson said the Congress leadership continues to look for excuses rather than introspect on why voters are repeatedly rejecting the party. He added that the public has lost confidence in Congress due to its inconsistent stand on national issues and lack of a credible alternative vision for governance.

Commenting on Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat’s recent remarks, Hussain strongly endorsed the message of patriotism. “Everyone should have a sense of patriotism. The country is moving forward, and without patriotism, it cannot progress,” he said. He also took a swipe at those who oppose national slogans. “There are many people here who oppose ‘Vande Mataram’ and have a problem saying ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai.’ This cannot continue,” Hussain remarked.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, speaking at a programme in Andaman and Nicobar Islands to mark the 115th anniversary of freedom fighter Veer Savarkar’s song ‘Sagar Pran Talamala’, stressed that the nation must always be placed above everything else. He said this was a time to live for India, not to die, underlining that patriotism should be reflected in everyday conduct and constructive work for the country.

While I agree Congress needs introspection, this constant attack from BJP spokespersons feels like kicking someone when they're down. A healthy democracy needs a strong opposition. Hope Congress revives with better leadership.

Bhagwat ji's message is correct. Nation first should be the motto for every citizen. It's sad that some have a problem with simple patriotic slogans. Jai Hind!

As an observer, the data speaks for itself. Zero seats in Delhi is a massive wake-up call. You can't win elections just on legacy. The cadre is demoralized for a reason.

The part about ideological confusion is spot on. One day they support something, the next day they oppose it. How can voters trust such a party? They need to decide what they stand for.

It's easy for BJP to criticize, but they should also focus on governance issues like inflation. That said, Congress really needs to put its house in order. The Gandhi family isn't working as a brand anymore.
