Former Education Minister and Congress MLA Geeta Bhukkal has blamed the lack of organisational structure and overconfidence for the party’s defeat in the recently held Assembly poll in the state.
She also accused the BJP of adopting tactics like ‘saam, daam, dand, bhed’ and misusing the ‘tantra’ (government machinery) to form the government. “We were quite confident about getting a mandate in the Assembly poll as all media surveys, exit polls and public opinion came in favour of the Congress, while all sections of society, including farmers, employees, traders and players, were against the BJP government due to its erroneous policies. Despite all this, the BJP won by adopting unfair means,” said Bhukkal while interacting with the media here on Sunday.
