Congress, which seemed to be making a comeback after the Lok Sabha elections, has suffered two major setbacks in a short time. First, the defeat in Haryana elections and the poor performance in Jammu and Kashmir have significantly diminished the shine of its performance in the Lok Sabha elections. Now the party fighting under the MVA alliance in Maharashtra has also faced a major defeat. After the defeat of Congress, its lead in the parliamentary elections may reduce further.
Let us tell you that the condition of Congress in Maharashtra assembly elections is worse than Gujarat. In the 2022 assembly elections, the Congress party won 17 seats in Gujarat. Whereas in Maharashtra, Congress could win only 16 seats.
Former Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan told this reason
When the assembly elections were announced in Maharashtra, the post of Leader of Opposition was with the Congress. After the elections, the discord in Maharashtra Congress has also started increasing. Former Chief Minister of Maharashtra Prithviraj Chavan even targeted the Congress leadership in the middle of the counting of votes and said that one of the reasons for our defeat could also be that our leadership was very bad.
The election campaign failed
The most surprising thing is that wherever Congress's senior leader Rahul Gandhi went to campaign, Congress has suffered a huge defeat. This proved to be a very negative thing for the Congress. Rahul had campaigned in Nandurbar, Nagpur East, Dhamangaon, Gondia, Nanded North, Chimur etc., but no candidate could win.
The narrative was heavy
Instead of understanding the ground reality of the assembly elections and the mood of the public, the party, without learning from the mistake of Haryana, tried to create a narrative in Maharashtra through the issue of Lok Sabha elections.
