Congress will keep an eye on the attitude of Muslim appeasement
Some of the things that the Congress party had said during the election campaign, do not seem right from the point of view of the future of Indian democracy. But it is also true that in order to win the election, there is compulsion to talk a little here and there. If it is so, then it is fine, otherwise if Congress insists on appeasement of a particular community or increases separatist sentiments on various issues, then it will not be good not only for Congress, but also for the state and the country. Who doesn’t know that putting Bajrang Dal on par with PFI is absolutely baseless and proof of Muslim appeasement? The way former Congress President Sonia Gandhi assured to take care of the sovereignty of Karnataka, who is not understanding her message? It is a different matter that BJP and especially Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised both these issues very loudly and now it is clear that the voters of Karnataka did not listen to them. It does not mean that the Congress party, after coming to power, should follow these paths. If this happens, surely the allegations against the country’s oldest party of creating a rift in the society through Muslim appeasement will deepen.
The accident happened when the ground reality was lost sight of
The Congress party, being intoxicated by the massive victory, should not be oblivious to the ground realities of Karnataka as well as the country. The party has shown its prudence by choosing local issues in the Karnataka elections. The challenge before it is that even after the formation of the government, it should focus on the same issues and not give vent to appeasement or separatism. Definitely, with the return of the Congress to power, the radical section of a community in Karnataka will try hard to push its agenda. In order to please him, the Congress party can also give an introduction of insensitivity towards Hindus. This danger must have been troubling a large section of Karnataka. The new government will have to dispel the doubts of Hindus by defying the nefarious designs of Islamic fundamentalists.
How dependent on populist promises?
The Congress party had made many populist promises in the Karnataka elections. She should keep in mind that by implementing populist policies that harm the state’s economy, she will not be able to send a good message to the rest of the country. The welfare of the poor and needy is the primary responsibility of every government, but playing with the government treasury for vote bank politics will prove to be very dangerous for the economic health of the country and the state. These days, the big economists of the country and the world are expressing concern over making haphazard policies in the preoccupation of getting power. That’s why the Congress party will have to work at the grassroots level in the Congress to take the state forward on the path of progress. After all, the voters there have removed the BJP from power in this hope. The challenge before the Congress is that it should not get caught in the trap of flashy issues and work seriously on removing all the basic problems including corruption, unemployment and obstacles to women empowerment.
Will the policy of attacks on PM Modi change or increase?
Congress leaders have developed a strange habit of making personal attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to prove themselves as the purest Congressmen. Broadly speaking, it has only been harming the Congress party. National politics, from Parliament session to Karnataka election campaign, Congress leaders have been using more than one bitter word for PM Modi. Even Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge himself called the Prime Minister a poisonous snake during the Karnataka election campaign. It also seems from the frequent statements coming from the Gandhi family that they have a special enmity with PM Modi. In politics, if it is not foolishness to sacrifice party’s interest in the interest of individual or family, then what else is?
Congress came out of the clutches of left-liberal ecosystem
The Congress party seems to be trying hard to strengthen the left-liberal ecosystem. The top leadership of the party should seriously ponder over the question whether the left-liberal ecosystem has even an iota of contribution behind its victory in Karnataka? He should also think in this way whether the absence of left-liberal ecosystem in the election campaign is not the reason behind his bumper victory in Karnataka? If the answer to both these questions is yes, then the Congress party should follow this pattern and face the next elections. The original character of the Congress party has been blurred by coming under the influence of the Left-Liberal gang. Because of this, a large section of the country, which is uncomfortable with Muslim appeasement, drifted away from the Congress.
Politics will increase on the reasons of victory
Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ bet can bring success instead of fighting the whole battle on social media on the lines of left-liberal ecosystem, the victory of Karnataka has already raised hopes for this. If the Congress party is able to understand the changing mood of the people, their changing aspirations in the changing circumstances of the country, then it is possible that it will continue to get a victory like Karnataka. It has to be seen how the Congress party sees the victory of Karnataka, what are the major reasons for this victory? Not only the party’s electoral strategy, but also the politics in general will be determined by whether it will attribute its victory in Karnataka to appeasement and populist promises or to people fed up with the shortcomings of the BJP rule. If Congress decides to pursue its old-fashioned politics without listening to the heart of the people, it will definitely be disappointing not only for the country’s oldest party but for the entire opposition politics, which will also affect the future of democracy in India. abound.
