From Strategy To Self-Sabotage: Inside Congress’s Assam Implosion

In a dramatic turn of events, Congress's internal discord in Assam has inadvertently strengthened the position of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The ongoing infighting within Congress has laid bare the cracks in its strategy, turning what could have been a united front into a fragmented one. This disunity has provided the BJP with ample ammunition to showcase the opposition's lack of cohesion, a narrative they have effectively capitalized on in the past. The implosion comes at a critical juncture, with regional elections on the horizon and the need for a robust opposition stronger than ever. Congress's internal struggles have overshadowed its policy proposals and electoral promises, diverting attention away from substantive issues. Meanwhile, the BJP continues to consolidate its voter base, emphasizing stability and leadership, qualities that resonate well with the electorate amidst the chaos in the opposition camp. As Congress grapples with its internal challenges, its ability to present a viable alternative to the BJP remains in question. The party's leadership is under pressure to resolve these disputes swiftly to regain footing before the elections. However, without a clear and cohesive strategy moving forward, Congress risks further alienating its supporters and ceding more ground to its political adversaries in Assam.
