CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Over the past 10 years, 75% of leaders who left Congress have won elections.

Why is this percentage so significant? Is Congress losing its organizational strength, or are leaders becoming more influential by joining new parties? Let’s dive deep into this political trend.

The Trend of Leaving Congress and Key Statistics

Since 2014, 177 MPs and MLAs have bid farewell to Congress. A majority of them joined the BJP, and 75% secured victories in their respective constituencies.

Examples:

In Madhya Pradesh, Jyotiraditya Scindia and his supporters joined the BJP and won key Assembly and Lok Sabha seats.

In Karnataka, leaders who defected from Congress to BJP gained significant power in governance.

Reasons Behind Leaders Leaving Congress

  1. Weak Local Organization

Congress’s organizational structure has weakened in many states.

Ground-level challenges: The party lacks both solid strategies and strong regional leadership.

  1. Leadership Concerns

Growing dissatisfaction with the leadership of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi.

Lack of communication: A deficit in transparency and dialogue in decision-making has further weakened the party.

  1. BJP’s Aggressive Strategy

The BJP has actively targeted discontented Congress leaders.

Security and Career Growth: Leaders uncertain about their future in Congress feel more secure in the BJP.

BJP’s Strategy and Appeal

The BJP has adopted specific strategies to attract Congress defectors:

  1. Strong Organization

BJP’s grassroots organization provides leaders with a sense of stability.

  1. Promise of Power

Leaders joining BJP are often assured of positions in power.

  1. Roles and Prestige

Ministerial positions or other significant roles often attract Congress leaders to the BJP.

Path to Recovery for Congress

Despite setbacks, Congress still has a considerable voter base but needs strategic reforms:

  1. Promote Young Leadership

The party must empower young leaders with grassroots connections.

  1. Political Alliances

Building alliances with regional parties to counter the BJP’s dominance.

  1. Aggressive Campaigning

Like the BJP, Congress must adopt aggressive campaigning to promote its ideology.
