Congress Party’s victory in three states makes Rahul the nucleus of the anti BJP opposition nationally

The Congressmen are jubilant today and so might be its chief Rahul Gandhi who has finally proved himself as the force to reckon with and the undisputed leader of the grand alliance being formed in the run up for the 2019 general elections.

What happens in 2019 and whether the Modi rule is dethroned or not, in the general elections, is still unpredictable but the spate of triumphs for Congress in the three major states Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh where the Nehru Gandhi scion n young Congress chief , 20 year younger to PM Modi, has worked so hard, have definitely made one thing quite unambiguous that Modi, Shah n Yogi Adityanath’s charisma is on a decline, if not fully but surely to a great extent who’d left no stone unturned by their histrionics and oratory to ensure their ruling party’s victory at the hustings, but unfortunately failed. The political graph of Rahul Gandhi n the Congress Party therefore seems to be on the ascendence.

There had been opinion poll predictions which showed the Congress winning in two states or in one state of Rajasthan but the way it won in all the three states as of now, it has become absolutely clear that not only has the anti incumbency factor played a mojor role in these elections but the charisma of Rahul Gandhi has too has worked in influencing the dalits, farmers, youths, students, women, minorites and the people of the lowest ebb of the society.

While it can’t be denied that the Congress leaders like Ashok Gehlot, Sachin Pilot, Kamalnath, Scindia and Baghel have played a major role in reviving the party in all the three states respectively, but Rahul Gandhi’s intense campaigning on issues like alleged Rafale scam, farmers’ crisis n suicides, deteriorating agrarian sector, increasing unemployment, and the rhetorics of Modiji have definitely paid dividends as the people of these states outrightly rejected the saffron party and its efforts of polarisation thus giving a clear indication that it wants a change for sure.

The way prime minister Narendra Modi led BJP has won all the state elections in 20 states hands down after coming to power at the centre in 2014 including in states like UP n Assam, the strongholds of Congress n the Samajwadi party, it looked as if the Modi factor has assumed an invincible proportion and status but in just a year’s time after these incessant victories, the dexterity with which the Congress chief Rahul Gandhi had through his hectic campaigning n incessant attack on the incumbent government on various pivotal issues like Rafale, agrarian crisis, demonetisation, inflation, farmers suicides, naxal attacks, women insecurity n GST etc the way the 135 year old party has defeated the BJP in these three states proving his mettle, it has become unambiguous that a new political alternative with Rahul Gandhi as its leader is in a making that may pose a formidable n strong challenge to PM Narendra Modi and NDA in 2019 with the entire non BJP opposition leaders backing him undisputedly.

The Congress’s victory in these states has also taught the over ambitious BSP supremo Bahan Mayavati a strong lesson, who’d betrayed the Congress n gone for alliance in Chattisgarh with Ajit Jogi who’d hardly won any seat and are being negligibly counted in the catagory of others.

Conclusively, it can be said that the entire moves of the BJP and its various saffron outfits including the assurances of the top most leaders to the electorates of these three states pertaining to Ram Temple construction, development or for their over all socio economic, agricultural or other welfare have not fructified and the electorates preferred to go for the Congress party. This unambiguosly show that alleged polarisation efforts of the ruling political dispensation and its various off shoots in the name of Ram Temple construction at Ayodhya has not worked with people believing more on issues like employment generation, relief to farmers, communal harmony, loan waivers, controlling inflation, curbing corruption, women security, improving their living standards and programme oriented governments. And have therefore voted for change.

If we assess and analyse the impact of these elections in the forthcoming general elections, the BJP’s defeat in these three states has resulted in losing about 35 to 40 Lok Sabha seats. The saffron party has won 63 Lok Sabha seats from these five states in 2014 elections giving only 6 seats to Congress and 14 to others. According to political analysts these semifinal elections have added glory and weitage to the prestige and status of the Congress party n its leader Rahul Gandhi and will definitely enthuse the non BJP opposition parties to give a formidable challenge to the BJP led NDA whose leader is PM Narendra Modi.
