Not New for Congress - 1998 - 2003 - 2023 - 2024 Lok Sabha will be a Tough Contest

The last time the Congress was in power in only one Hindi-speaking state was in 1998. Sonia Gandhi took over as the party president in that year. The party was then in power in three states – Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and Mizoram. In 2023,  the Congress is once again confined to just three states – Telangana and Karnataka in the South, and Himachal Pradesh in the North. So, this sort of situation is not new for Congress. For that matter, even BJP came back into big reckoning after it suffered badly and got reduced to 2 seats. So, in Indian political system these ups and downs are possible and people should not write obituaries of any party.


The quote by Congress communication head Jairam Ramesh provides motivation to Congress workers.  “Exactly 20 years ago, the Indian National Congress had lost the state elections in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, while winning only Delhi. But within a few months, the party bounced back and went on to emerge as the single largest party in the Lok Sabha polls and formed the government at the Centre. It is with hope, confidence and a firm sense of resolve and resilience that the Indian National Congress prepares for the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls,”  At appropriate time, Jairam Ramesh stated the historical fact to provide cheer to his party members when gloom is all around. 





BJP cannot take it easy. Of course, the entire media is signing praises of BJP performance and its election management skills. Still history indicates surprises. Supporters of BJP have to be active instead of being complacent.
