Now the path of Rahul Gandhi’s return as Congress President has become difficult. The reason is the crushing defeat in the election results of five states. G-23, a group of 23 senior leaders demanding internal democracy in the party, was looking for this opportunity. The election of the Congress party president is to be held between August 21 and September 20.
The party will release the list of its AICC members by April 15, within a month after which elections to the block committee will be held. The election of district presidents will be completed in July. The voice of the faction in favor of handing over the Congress to the non-Gandhi family will be vocal. At the same time, the moral force of Rahul Gandhi becoming the president will be weak.
After the defeat in the states, Rahul Gandhi has accepted the defeat of his party by thanking the public by tweeting.
For a long time there was a demand to make non-Gandhi the president
There has been a demand for a non-Gandhi family leader to be made the president for a long time in the Congress. Leaders of Kashmir like Ghulam Nabi Azad and Kapil Sibal have raised this point from time to time. Face saving is going to be even more difficult for the Congress after losing the government in Punjab. Many other political surgeries were done by the Congress in Punjab, from the change of chief minister, but it did not work. In Punjab, the party had to face a crushing defeat. In Uttarakhand too she remained away from victory.
Priyanka’s formula to give 40 percent tickets to women in UP failed
In Uttar Pradesh, Congress general secretary in-charge Priyanka Gandhi’s formular of 40 percent tickets to women failed. A senior Congress leader said, “Women in the state have not been able to become a vote bank for the Congress. It was not even possible for this to happen. This left behind the candidates of the party who could compete.
After the defeat in UP, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has accepted the defeat and said that she will continue to play the role of opposition in UP.
5 big reasons for the defeat of Congress in Uttarakhand
- The party did not announce the CM face. Harish Rawat was not declared as his Chief Minister till the last moment.
- There was confusion about the faces of the Congress CM candidates after Harak Singh Rawat, who had come from the BJP, was picked up at the last moment.
- The Congress played bets on jobs, gas and health facilities, while the BJP stuck to the nationalism card.
- Harish Rawat introduced himself as the Chief Minister. This move of Rawat proved to be of opposite effect among the voters.
- There was no other big campaigner in Uttarakhand except Harish Rawat. Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi’s rallies were very few. Congress got 4 to 5 percent more votes, but this percentage did not translate into seats.
The momentary calm of the G-23 after the intervention of Sonia Gandhi has only brought to the surface the disintegration of the Congress during the election campaign in the five states.
Congress lost its comeback opportunity in Goa due to 3 reasons
1. Did not announce the face of the Chief Minister.
2. Goa’s voters did not forgive the weakness of not being able to form the government despite emerging as the single largest party in 2017.
3. Did not join hands with TMC which was cutting votes and joined Goa Forward Party, which had tarnished its reputation.
