Lok Sabha elections: Congress contests fewer seats than ever, hopes less is more

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 17 April 2024 ()
The Congress party is preparing to contest its lowest number of seats ever in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, drawing parallels with its strategy in 2004 when it formed alliances to defeat the BJP-led NDA. The party is likely to contest around 330 seats, significantly fewer than in 2004, due to alliances with various regional parties in states like Maharashtra, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh. .
