After Congress bites dust in polls, DK Shivakumar says ‘party cannot stay united without Gandhi family’

New Delhi: With Congress losing all five state Assembly elections by humiliating margins, several Congress loyalists defended the party leadership.

While Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole said that the grand old party’s central leadership is still strong and will benefit the party in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls DK Shivakumar said that the Congress party cannot remain united without the Gandhi family.

“Without the Gandhi family, the Congress party cannot stay united. They are the key for the unity of the Congress party and it is impossible for the Congress to survive without the Gandhi family,” the Karnataka Congress chief told NDTV.
