The obituary has been long in the writing, dusted off every time the Congress loses another election. Now, however, the possibility of the grand old party disappearing into oblivion has become very real. Impervious to that idea so far, the realisation is finally dawning on the Congress—that it may be on the cusp of extinction if it does not take immediate steps to avert its demise. Hence a ‘Nava Sankalpa Shivir’, a three-day brainstorming session in Rajasthan’s Udaipur from May 13 to 15. It’s the fourth such conclave since 1998, but the last one was held way back in 2013, a year before the party delivered its worst Lok Sabha performance. More than 400 Congress delegates will gather here to urgently debate strategies to combat the immediate challenges—assembly elections in 10 states in the next two years—before gearing up for the 2024 general election. These states account for 144 of the Lok Sabha’s 543 seats, of which the Congress currently has just nine. Even though it won assembly elections in three of these states the last time, it lost the government in one—Madhya Pradesh—to internal feuds, a challenge that has reared its head in two other states—Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh—as well.
