Haryana Loss Spells Trouble for Congress: Will Allies Still Back the Grand Old Party?
After a shocking defeat in the Haryana elections, the Congress is facing backlash from its allies in the INDIA bloc. The inability to convert seats into wins has left the party vulnerable in upcoming elections.
Partners in the alliance are pointing fingers at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, criticizing the party’s arrogance and entitlement. The AAP’s Raghav Chadha suggested that the Congress’s ambitions led to their downfall in Haryana.
The rift between Congress and AAP over seat-sharing in Haryana could impact their alliance in Maharashtra and Delhi. The grand old party’s demand for a big share of seats is being questioned by its partners, hinting at a shift in power dynamics within the alliance.
With the Maharashtra elections on the horizon, the Congress must rethink its strategy to secure its position. The INDIA bloc’s dissatisfaction could weaken the party’s influence and bargaining power in the upcoming polls.
Overall, the Congress is facing challenges not only in Haryana but also in other key states, signaling a turbulent phase for the once-dominant political force.
