No Congress Spokespersons On TV Debates For A Month, Says Party

NEW DELHI — The Congress has decided not to send spokespersons for television debates for a month.

The move comes after the party’s debacle in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls.

The Congress has often accused the media of being “biased” towards the Modi dispensation.

″@INCIndia has decided to not send spokespersons on television debates for a month,” Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala tweeted.

“All media channels/editors are requested to not place Congress representatives on their shows,” he said.

The Congress is currently facing a crisis with party president Rahul Gandhi adamant on his decision to quit after the poll debacle — winning just 52 Lok Sabha seats — and its state governments facing an uncertain future.
