BHOPAL: Congress general secretary Jyotiraditya Scindia on Thursday termed the Delhi election results as “very, very disappointing”. Talking to the media during his visit to Prithvipur in Niwari district of Madhya Pradesh, he said the party needs to reinvent itself with a “new ideology, new thinking and new ways of functioning”.

Scindia was reacting to his party’s dismal performance in the Delhi

assembly polls where Congress did not even manage to win a single seat for the second consecutive election. The party had ruled Delhi for 15 years at a stretch (1998-2013) with Sheila Dikshit as chief minister.

Scindia, who had lost the Lok Sabha polls from Guna in 2019 also said that the country has changed a lot in the last 70 years. “In this new era, we need to go to the people with a new thinking”, he said.

Earlier, Congress spokesperson Sharmistha Mukherjee had also showed concern for the party’s poll debacle and took on senior party leader and former Union minister P Chidambaram for his tweet in support of AAP.
