From being the single dominant party in India to its pathetic performance in the recently held elections in States, the Congress has been on a steady downhill.
The lack of consensus in choosing a successor led to infighting in the party which was openly aired in the public domain. The party at present does not have a strong leader and workable structure and its ideological agenda of leftist-welfareist policies for the poor has been hijacked by the BJP which is using it cleverly to position itself as the single dominant party in Indian politics.
Congress has become a sinking ship with every leader and worker in it trying to escape to a safer destination. The unresolved top-level leadership issue is back to haunt the Congress as the party continues to witness more resignations among its regional leaders.
There is a sense in insecurity and these people are leaving because they are unsure about the party's future.
Lack of leadership and political vision along with organizational problems continue to plague a political force with storied legacy.
