india alliance
There is a wave of happiness among many constituent parties of the India Alliance due to Congress’s massive defeat in three states. There are big reasons for this because the same Congress was not ready to talk to the constituent parties regarding Lok Sabha seat sharing due to the elections to be held in five states. Congress was doing this as a strategy.
Congress was fully confident that at least MP and Chhattisgarh would come to its side. Therefore, after the election results, Congress’s influence in the Indian alliance will increase much more and the rest of the regional parties will be forced to accept the leadership of Rahul Gandhi. Obviously the regional parties were aware of this attitude of Congress and hence they were also uncomfortable. But the results of four states have spoiled the entire game of Congress and there is joy among the other constituents of the India alliance.
Congress had insulted Nitish, Akhilesh!
Be it Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party or Nitish Kumar’s JDU, Congress broke its promises with both these parties in the assembly elections. There was talk of coordination with Samajwadi Party on 6 seats in Madhya Pradesh, while with JDU on two seats. But at the last moment, Congress greatly humiliated Nitish Kumar’s JDU and Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party by fielding its candidates on every seat.
Obviously angry with this, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav fielded more than 70 candidates against Congress in MP. At the same time, Nitish Kumar also started opening a front against Congress in Madhya Pradesh by fielding 9 candidates. JDU was feeling humiliated. Therefore, JDU national president Lalan Singh wanted to talk to the Congress national president about the breach of promise. But even after waiting for two days, the National President of Congress did not come on phone to talk to the National President of JDU regarding the breach of promise.
JDU leader Nitish Kumar was so angry with this whole incident that he broke his silence in the Left meeting at Gandhi Maidan regarding the attitude of Congress. After the public statement against Congress, Lalu Prasad had to intervene and talk to senior Congress leaders to hush up the matter. After this action of Lalu Prasad, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge called Nitish Kumar and tried to calm the matter.
Tu-Tu Main-Main with Akhilesh Yadav
Even with Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav after the MP episode, the incident of ‘Tu-Tu Main Main’ continued for a long time and many times the Samajwadi Party even threatened to contest elections separately from the India alliance. Akhilesh Yadav has also cursed Congress a lot by calling it anti-reservation and an oppressive party like BJP and has also announced to behave like Madhya Pradesh in Uttar Pradesh.
Apart from Nitish and Akhilesh Yadav, Mamata Banerjee and Arvind Kejriwal also had this doubt in the India alliance that if Congress wins the elections in MP and Chhattisgarh, then its attitude can become a cause of trouble in the alliance because Congress will play the role of elder brother in the alliance. And will put pressure on other parties. Therefore, regional parties were feeling pressure.
That is why leaders like Nitish Kumar, Arvind Kejriwal and Mamata Banerjee wanted to decide the seat sharing formula even before the election exercise started in five states, but Congress showed interest in talking about seat sharing after the election results in five states. Was staying. Regional parties had sensed the changed attitude of the Congress after the Karnataka election results and were refraining from speaking against the Congress due to political compulsion to be visible in opposition to the BJP. Obviously the plight of Congress is now a relief news for regional parties. Therefore, regional parties will be effective in protecting their interests by sensing the compulsions of Congress.
Why are regional parties uneasy about Congress?
Congress started hijacking the alliance of opposition parties only after the first meeting of opposition parties was held in Patna. Nitish Kumar had started the effort to bring opposition parties together but from the very second meeting he started being sidelined. During the second meeting, efforts to humiliate Nitish by putting up posters and banners against him had started in Bangalore. Obviously, when the third meeting was held in Mumbai, Congress had hijacked the meeting.
Congress had plans to attack the government but the other constituents of the opposition alliance were unaware of this. Apparently, when Rahul Gandhi started raising questions about the deal with the government and Adani from the same hotel in Mumbai, Mamata Banerjee’s displeasure was clearly visible. Obviously, Mamata was in favor of including the opinions of other constituents on this issue, but Congress wanted to win on this issue by showing Rahul Gandhi alone as a crusader.
Apart from Mamata’s displeasure, the sidelining of Nitish Kumar was also serving as a lesson for Arvind Kejriwal in many ways. Therefore, as soon as Arvind Kejriwal came to know about Congress’s plan regarding preparations on all the seats in Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal continued his party’s election programs in five states as per the earlier plan.
At the same time, Kejriwal’s party’s continued attitude against Congress workers in Punjab was ruining opposition unity. Regional parties were trying to show that they are ready to go along with the Congress in view of the increasing trend of Muslims towards the Congress, but they know better that if the Congress is handed over political land in different states, it will cause huge losses to them. Could.
That is why leaders like Mamata Banerjee, Akhilesh Yadav and Arvind Kejriwal seem uneasy about the alliance with Congress. These leaders feel that seat sharing with Congress might make them lose ground. Therefore, they are considering it a profitable deal to maintain a distance with Congress.
Why is there a wave of happiness in India alliance?
In fact, the local satraps will now be able to talk on an equal footing in alliance with the Congress and they will no longer feel the pressure of the Congress. After the defeat in three out of four states, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge started addressing the meeting of opposition parties on December 6 itself. Congress is obviously under pressure after the defeat. Therefore, there is full hope that the influence of senior leaders of the states will be seen increasing in the meeting of the opposition alliance.
Nitish Kumar, Akhilesh Yadav, Mamata Banerjee and Arvind Kejriwal will be able to talk to Congress on an equal footing after its defeat and it is expected that Congress will take them seriously. From now on, it will be a compulsion for the Congress, which is seen playing the role of elder brother in the India alliance, to work in coordination with all the parties, hence the regional parties must be celebrating the defeat of the Congress. It is obvious that now the pressure of Congress from the convenor to the PM candidate will be decreasing and the scope for a leader like Nitish to appear more active has increased.
