CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: For over three decades, the Indian National Congress has faced a persistent struggle in Gujarat, failing to secure a definitive win in a state that has become a complex ideological battleground. The BJP’s stronghold, rooted in grassroots mobilization, Hindutva narratives, and robust organizational strength, has consistently overshadowed Congress’s efforts. Despite sporadic moments of promise, Congress has struggled to maintain voter trust or build a strong regional leadership capable of countering the BJP’s dominance.
Gujarat’s political landscape has evolved into a symbol of saffron consolidation, with the Congress unable to present a compelling alternative that resonates with the aspirations of the electorate. The party’s failure to adapt its strategies to local socio-political dynamics, disconnect with youth voters, and internal factionalism have further weakened its position.
Additionally, high-profile leaders from Gujarat, such as Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, have reinforced the BJP’s dominance at both the state and national levels. This has made Gujarat more than just an electoral challenge—it represents a broader ideological defeat for Congress.
Understanding why Gujarat remains unwinnable for Congress reveals deeper insights into the shifting nature of Indian politics, where narrative, identity, and consistent grassroots presence define long-term success.
