New Delhi, May 1

Ahead of the results of elections in West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry tomorrow the Congress today announced its decision to skip all elections related media debates.

Congress media head Randeep Surjewala said, “At a time when Nation is facing an unprecedented crisis, when Govt under PM Modi has collapsed, we find it unacceptable to not hold them accountable and instead discuss election wins and losses. The Congress has decided to withdraw our spokespersons from election debates.”

Surjewala also said party leaders would otherwise be available for comment.

“We may win, we may lose, but at a time when people are looking for oxygen, beds, medicines, ventilators; our duty tells us to stand by them, work with them to heal and help. In solidarity with India,” he said.

All exit polls have predicted major losses for the Congress in tomorrow’s election cycle.
