The Congress leader said that the BJP lost the mandate of the people in the Lok Sabha elections and it does not have moral right to stake a claim to form the government at the Centre. “The BJP alone did not get the majority and hence its leader Narendra Modi has no moral right to become Prime Minister again,” he said adding that the BJP failed to open its accounts in 13 states in the country.
Admitting that the Congress suffered a setback in Old Mysuru region and in the coastal belt in the elections he said that the party will make all efforts to improve its performance in the next elections.
