Congress oozed confidence after its solid show in LS polls. However, after Haryana & Maharashtra verdict, its authority as the leader of the INDIA bloc may be questioned.
Party went into 1st assembly session without a CLP leader, and now, even as the winter session is scheduled to begin on 13 November, there is no word on who will get the coveted post.
Congress won more postal ballots than BJP in 34 seats where it lost. The party is using this to allege that EVMs were ‘manipulated’. Postal ballots made up 0.57% of total votes cast.
Congress & BJP chose opposite strategies for 2024 polls. Experts say Congress’s Jat-centric campaign may have led other caste groups to rally behind BJP, which focused on non-Jats.
BJP won 10 of 11 seats in Rao Inderjit’s home turf, the Ahirwal belt. Party functionaries say he wants to dilute Khattar’s influence and have party accommodate his wish list.
Congress won 15 seats of 28 in six districts where Dera Sacha Sauda chief Ram Rahim holds sway; BJP got 10 as caste-based voting patterns played a bigger role.
Haryana has seen good growth, keeping its deficit within limit in recent years. Inclusive development, fixing unemployment, bridging rural-urban inflation gap should be new govt’s priorities.
Tuesday’s Constitution Club election is not the finale of the ‘Thakur-versus-the rest’ battle in the BJP. Wait for the caste census result to come ahead of the next Lok Sabha election.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
ACM Katre was 2nd IAF chief to die in harness. It was at a memorial lecture in his honour where IAF chief AP Singh revealed that India shot down 6 Pakistani aircraft in Op Sindoor.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
Congratulations to Rahul Gandhi!
His hardwork and immense dedication has paid off big time.
He was and will always remain the star campaigner of the BJP.
When he campaigns extensively in any state, the BJP is bound to win there.
The primary reason for JMM’s convincing win in Jharkhand is because Rahul Gandhi did not campaign much there. On paper he is Congress’ chief campaigner but in reality he brings votes for the BJP.
People go to his rallies with lots of hope and aspiration. Once they see him and hear him talk, they come back convinced that he (and his allies) is not to be voted for.
BJP knows this well enough and hence baits him to campaign hard in critical states like Maharashtra. The more he campaigns, the more things become easier for the BJP.
