Congress leaving nothing to chance in attacking govt, poaching leaders

BENGALURU: The Congress seems to have adopted a ‘surgical strike’ approach when it comes to attacking the government and also poaching leaders from other parties.

The party is working with utmost secrecy when it comes to planning attacks on the government on different issues, leaving the government with little time to react.

The Congress seems to have adopted the same strategy while poaching leaders from other parties. Any announcement about new inductees is being made only after they have formally joined the party while not giving time to the original party of the inductee to plan any counter moves.
