Spirit-sapping Congress loss puts question mark over Lok Sabha chances
Sunday, 3 December 2023 The Congress party's belief in a revival after the post-2014 stasis has been shattered by its recent defeats in the Hindi heartland. The party's struggles in this region, concerns about polarisation, and absence of a counter agenda to the BJP have resurfaced. The defeats have raised fears about the party's future, especially with the upcoming Lok Sabha elections and the Ayodhya issue. Rahul Gandhi faces a personal challenge as he tries to retain momentum and find a new rallying call.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, "... Budget of health and education ministries have been reduced, so I asked them the reason. There is no politics in this. Two states have been given favourable treatment to satisfy their coalition partners. We know this is how it works and we also have the right to protest against it... I am happy for the people of Bihar for getting such a generous package. It is a very big deal... 3 Congress and 1 DMK Chief Minister said they would not attend the NITI Aayog meeting because there was nothing for their states in the budget... Maybe Mamata Banerjee has an issue which she wants to discuss..."

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said by trouncing the BJP in Ayodhya, the INDIA bloc has defeated the Ram temple movement once led by L K Advani, and expressed confidence that the saffron party will meet the same fate in Gujarat in the next election. He said the Congress has been challenged and threatened by the BJP, but it will defeat the saffron party and Narendra Modi in Gujarat just the way it was defeated in Ayodhya. Gandhi was addressing party workers days after the Congress and BJP clashed outside the Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) office when saffron party workers went there to protest against his (Gandhi's) remarks on Hindus.
