Strengthens the weak opposition ruling party
Strong opposition parties for strong democracies. But India has been poorly served in this sector for some time. Factionalism in the state unit and lack of leadership in the central leadership, the party is not yet fully prepared for 2022 assembly election and 2024 Lok sabha election too. Some leaders at the Central have lost faith in the party leadership, so some leaders are unstable in the party. The factions in the state are pitted against each other and its blow is falling heavily on the Congress. As a result, in many states, the Congress cannot stand competently against the BJP.
The biggest problem congress has been facing appeal of central politics in the last decade. India's politics turned into right-wing politics. And this situation is good for BJP. The Congress lacks leadership and no other opposition party has the strength to face the BJP. An old ideology that has failed to recognize these tendencies, another major leader who has deviated from the top post and is suffering from factional fighting are the faults that show the lack of Congress talent. The party has suffered heavy losses in the last several elections, so it needs strong leadership to win some, and this time Rahul Gandhi's leadership is very weak. Due to health reasons, Sonia Gandhi could not pay full attention to the party and the party does not want any leader outside the Gandhi family.
In the meantime, the voter of the Congress has been heavily divided, so the Congress has to bear huge losses. Congress had the art of simultaneously delivering messages to poor farmers, Dalits, Muslims and women in various ways through protection, declaration laws and token statements. The Congress still claims about 20% of the votes cast in the Lok Sabha elections, but the BJP has secured 37%.
Regional parties like RJD, BSP, DMK, SP, JD (S), Shiv Sena, TDP, which are gradually moving in the ground, benefit from the core base which never leaves them. In this situation, if the Congress wants to rise again, it will have to strengthen the opposition with all parties. At present, the unity of all is very important to stop the BJP, otherwise if it continues, it will be very difficult to build the Congress in the future. The Congress will have to form a new leadership from among the workers.
