Cong’s dismal show in assembly polls in sharp focus in I.N.D.LA meet

The poor performance of the Congress in the assembly elections reflected in the fourth meeting of Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A) that was held in Delhi on Tuesday.

The 2.5-hour meet also saw alliance partners discussing the ‘problems’ that Congress was going to face in states where the ‘smaller’ parties were in power.

After the Congress rout in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, it was widely anticipated that Congress’ bargaining power in the INDI alliance discussion table would be greatly reduced. And that is what exactly happened.

The 28-party alliance, which was meeting for its fourth meeting, saw ‘smaller’ parties making it clear that they are not going to surrender their claims for seats in favour of the Congress in states where they have a much better hold.

Similarly, on the issues of the Prime Ministerial face, it was decided by the alliance partners that the same would be decided by the MPs who win the 2024 general election.
