{ "title": "BJP Slams P Chidambaram Over Blame-Shifting After Bihar Polls", "article": "The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has hit back at Congress leader P Chidambaram over his comments on the recent Bihar assembly polls. Chidambaram had written in an opinion piece that the voters in Bihar are responsible for the opposition's poor performance, rather than the party's leadership. BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla took to social media to criticize Chidambaram's comments, saying that Congress is deflecting blame instead of taking responsibility. He pointed out that Chidambaram's statement suggests that the Congress party is more concerned with protecting its leaders rather than reflecting on its own mistakes. The BJP accused Congress of insulting the people of Bihar by shifting the blame for its poor performance. Poonawalla also questioned why Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who has lost 95 elections, is not being held accountable for the party's losses. The comments come after Chidambaram wrote in an opinion piece that the people of Bihar did not vote for a strong opposition in the state, and that it is a greater responsibility than exercising the right to vote. The BJP has responded by saying that Congress needs to take a hard look at its own leadership and policies, rather than blaming the voters. The controversy has also sparked debate about the future of the INDIA bloc, with some leaders expressing concerns about Rahul Gandhi's leadership. Trinamool Congress leader has been quoted as saying that Mamata Banerjee is the ideal candidate to lead the bloc, further fueling speculation about Rahul Gandhi's role in the alliance."
