It looks like Rahul Gandhi the Congress chief wants to step down finally. Veerappa Moily one of the senior leaders of the Congress party said that Rahul Gandhi may not continue as the party President. His decision is final.
Majority of the Congress leaders who have lost the election, just talk about Rahul Gandhi’s resignation and say that it is difficult for the Congress party to survive. Some of them informally say that both Rahul and Priyanka have proved to be iron legs for the party.
The Campaigning of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra did not help the Congress candidates in any manner. The comparison of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra with the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was wrong.
Despite all-out efforts, the Congress leaders failed miserably in turning the tide for the Congress.
They could not survive the Tsunami of Narendra Modi and the strategy of Amit Shah.
They tried to blame it on the EVMs.
But now it is clear that the majority of the voters are with the BJP and specifically with Narendra Modi. If by chance the country goes for one Nation one poll, then the BJP will sweep the election for one more time. There is a talk that the NDA might go for polls in advance that is after 3 years. They will not wait for another 5 years. That is the latest strategy of the BJP.
So far more than 200 leaders of the Congress party at various levels have resigned to the party. Some of them are joining the BJP. So if Rahul steps down, a new leader has to emerge and take stock of the situation. It is not that easy to revive the party which is already in the ICU across the country.
