Days after Congress’ dismal performance in the recently concluded Tarn Taran by-election, former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister and Congress general secretary in charge of Punjab Bhupesh Baghel on Friday (November 21, 2025) said the party’s performance was being reviewed and necessary corrective measures would be taken.
Mr. Baghel was responding to a question on the Tarn Taran by-election result at a press conference in Chandigarh. “The performance of the party was being reviewed and all the necessary corrective measures will be taken,” he said, adding that “the ruling party mostly wins the by-elections. Despite that, the Congress had won a by-election in Barnala.”
Tarn Taran by-election sees around 61% voter turnout
Congress party’s candidate Karanbir Singh Burj finished fourth, staying behind the Independent Mandeep Singh, who got almost 5,000 more votes than the Congress. The Congress candidate even failed to save his security deposit.
On the Bihar results, Mr. Baghel said, “The Election Commission of India had wholeheartedly supported the BJP.”
