The Congress is facing an “existential crisis”, senior party leader Jairam Ramesh said and pitched for “a collective effort” by party leaders to “overcome” the challenges it faced from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah.
Ramesh also said that business as usual approach will not work against PM Modi and Amit Shah and advocated for flexibility in approach to make the Congress relevant.
“Yes, the Congress party is facing a very serious crisis,” Ramesh told.
He said the Congress had faced “electoral crisis” from 1996 to 2004 when it was out of power. The party had also faced “electoral crisis” in 1977 when it lost the elections held soon after the emergency.
“But today, I would say that the Congress is facing an existential crisis. It is not an electoral crisis. The party really is in deep crisis,” he said.
