THE CONGRESS IN ITS LABYRINTH
On January 25, as former Congress president Rahul Gandhi returned to Delhi at the end of a threeday visit to Tamil Nadu (the second in 10 days), the prospects of his party’s alliance with the DMK for the upcoming assembly poll remained uncertain. What caused the ripple was DMK leader and Arakkonam MP S. Jagathrakshakan’s assertion that his party would lead the alliance in neighboring Puducherry—where a Congress minis try steered by V. Narayanaswamy is in office—in the summer polls to the 30seat Puducherry assembly. Meanwhile, DMK leaders were not invited to Rahul’s meet ings (all in the western part of Tamil Nadu), and he campaigned without can passing for the coalition.

West Bengal Election - The Power Of Nine
In the 2019 Lok Sabha election, the nine districts of south Bengal delivered 19 of 22 seats for the Trinamool Congress (TMC). In terms of assembly segments, it translated into 138 seats—two thirds of the TMC tally in the last assembly election held in 2016. Barely months from now, the party’s performance in these very districts will be critical in determining Mamata Banerjee’s fate in a ‘do or die’ electoral battle against the BJP. The nine districts are: Nadia, North 24 Parganas, Howrah, Hooghly, Kolkata, South 24 Parganas, Bardhaman, Birbhum and East Medinipur, which together hold 178 assembly seats.
