Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, during the CWC meeting, attributed the party's mixed election results to internal disunity and EVM issues. He emphasized unity, discipline, and a focus on local concerns while calling for improved campaign strategies and addressing organizational weaknesses for future success.

At CWC meeting, Congress president identifies organisational weakness as a major drawback, says poll preparation in states should begin “at least a year in advance”.

During a CWC meeting held at the Congress's headquarters to analyse the party's morale-crushing defeats in both states, Mallikarjun Kharge said that infighting was hurting the grand old party and urged leaders to stop making anti-party remarks.
