Renuka Chowdhury Wants Digvijaya Singh Sacked, Angered by Goa Loss

Renuka Chowdhury slammed Digvijaya Singh by calling the loss in Goa, ‘stupid’

The Congress Party seems to have more trouble on its hands after letting Goa slip through its fingers. Party infighting emerged as Madhya Pradesh MP, and Congress leader Renuka Chowdhury, blamed General Secretary Digvijaya Singh for the Congress’ failure to win a majority in Goa.

The party needed only 4 more seats in Goa to attain a majority of 21. The Congress had managed an impressive 17 seats to the BJP’s tally of 13. However, the three parties that won the remaining 10 seats were convinced by the BJP to enter a coalition with the ruling party, and form the majority the government.

The move served as a major source of embarrassment for the party, who managed to come out with the most seats in the state after the elections.
