Asked who should be held responsible for the debacle of the Congress, he said, “All of us are responsible. How can one individual only be responsible.”
He admitted that people of India have voted for the Congress party to be in the opposition.
Asked whether the defeat put a question mark on the leadership of party, Ramesh said, “I it think calls into question our reserves of strength, what reserves of strength we have. What capacity for resilience and bounce back we will have.”
He also said the party will play a role of constructive opposition like it did in between in 1998 and 2004 during NDA rule.
