The Congress once again showed poor performance in the assembly of five states. However, if we look at the record of the last few years, the Congress party has not been able to bring home a new chief minister in two consecutive years and ten assembly elections. Not only is it facing defeat in consecutive elections but the party has lost at least five prominent youth leaders in recent times.
The internal discord within the party is also believed to be the biggest reason for the defeat. However, the Congress’s latest defeat came when the party president’s election is going to be held a few months later. Meanwhile, in view of the results of five states, the party said that Congress President Sonia Gandhi has decided that a meeting of the Central Working Committee will be called, in which the defeat will be reviewed.
At the same time, Rahul Gandhi tweeted and said, ‘Humbly accept the mandate, will learn and will continue to work for the interests of the people of India.’ Rahul Gandhi also thanked the party workers and said that the party will definitely take a lesson from this defeat.
How was the performance of Congress in the last two years?
Let us inform that after the Lok Sabha elections, the party performed well in the assembly elections held in Haryana, Maharashtra and Jharkhand. She also became a part of coalition governments in Maharashtra and Jharkhand.
Account not opened in Delhi Assembly elections
In the Delhi Assembly elections of the year 2020, the account of Congress did not even open. In the Bihar assembly elections too, the Congress got only 19 seats, while it contested 70 seats in alliance with the RJD. Last year, the Congress’ performance in the assembly elections in Assam, Kerala, West Bengal and Puducherry was also disappointing. After the defeat in these states, the opponents raised questions on the leadership of Rahul Gandhi.
On the other hand, Priyanka Gandhi, who entered active politics in the year 2019, campaigned vigorously in an election for the first time. Crowds also came to his meetings, although it did not show its effect in the results of the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.
