As the Congress' political imprint in the country shrunk to its lowest with a dismal showing in five states, the 'grand old party' seems on its way to the dustbin of history.
Congress is a failed party at the moment but we cannot say it has finished in India, as always success comes after failure.
Votes swing like a pendulum from left to right, but it always settles around the centre. They are currently endangered species and on the verge of extinction. It needs a campaign just like ‘Save Tiger Campaign’ otherwise our future generations would only read about the part in history books.
The election results signal the endgame for the Congress as the natural party of governance. An alternative political narrative is emerging with the AAP and the TMC as its principal engines, with a ragtag Congress desperately pretending to be relevant, unless it undergoes a transformative change.
The Congress at present does not have a strong leader and workable structure and its ideological agenda has been hijacked by the BJP which is using it cleverly to position itself as the single dominant party in Indian politics.
