Jammu, Dec 24: The focus of the Congress party from the alliances seems to be turning inwards towards internal reconstruction rather than solely relying on the fragile unity of the I.N.D.I.A bloc, a constellation of opposition parties bound by a common desire to unseat the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
An analyst while talking to Early Times said, “This newfound introspection stems from a stark realization: opposition unity, a potent weapon in theory, might be a chimera in practice.
Recent fissures within the I.N.D.I.A bloc, most notably the ideological clashes and seat-sharing squabbles between the Congress and its allies, have cast doubt on the alliance’s ability to present a united front against the BJP’s formidable electoral machinery.”
“The Congress’s recent rejig signals a renewed focus on internal strengthening rather than depending upon its allies. The Congress hopes to reconnect with its traditional voter base and attract new supporters,” he added.

“The Congress’s shift towards self-reliance is a gamble worth taking. By focusing on internal rejuvenation and reconnecting with its core values, the party can potentially break free from the constraints of a fractured opposition,” he added.
“In Jammu and Kashmir the Congress stands at a crossroads. The path ahead is uncertain, but the party’s newfound determination to rebuild itself, rather than solely rely on the fickle winds of alliance politics, offers a glimmer of hope for its party cadres, who seem disillusioned and tired. Whether this strategic shift will translate into electoral success remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the grand old party is no longer content to play the supporting role. It is desperate to reclaim its place at the center stage and the upcoming Lok Sabha elections will be a crucial test of its resolve,” he added. |
