CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Before the upcoming elections in Maharashtra, Congress has received a significant warning related to eight major mistakes made in Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh. The poor performance of Congress in these states and internal party issues have the potential to impact the political landscape in Maharashtra.
Lack of Leadership in Haryana:
In Haryana, Congress faced a leadership void during the elections due to the illness of in-charge Deepak Babaria. Although Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra held rallies in the final week, it was too late by then. The lack of leadership led to Congress facing defeat.
Failure to Form an Alliance with AAP:
Another significant mistake for Congress in Haryana was not forming an alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Congress lost five seats by a margin smaller than the votes garnered by AAP. The lack of alliance cost Congress dearly.
Factionalism in Chhattisgarh:
In Chhattisgarh, internal factionalism between Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and T.S. Singh Deo heavily damaged Congress. The infighting weakened the party’s position in the elections, resulting in unfavorable outcomes.
Lack of Rallies in Madhya Pradesh:
In Madhya Pradesh, Congress held half as many rallies as the BJP. Kamal Nath only held 114 rallies compared to the BJP’s 634. This significant gap in campaigning negatively affected Congress’s seats, leading to defeat.
Will Congress Change Its Strategy in Maharashtra?
These mistakes across the three states have raised serious questions about Congress’s electoral future. Political analysts are now questioning whether Congress will repeat these mistakes in Maharashtra or learn from them and adjust its strategy.
Will Maharashtra write a new chapter for Congress, or will the series of past mistakes continue? Only the upcoming election results will tell.
