Congress was the dominant party in India post-independence. For the first 25 years, they ruled without strong opposition. From the 1970s to the 1990s, INC often lost power, but it always managed to come back. They were indisputable winners – with secure vote banks in every nook and corner of the country. But post-2014, their situation has only been described as “dismal”. BJP’s dominance at the Center has virtually eliminated INC from its original position.

BJP’s dominance at the Center has virtually
eliminated INC from its original position. But is it all
due to the BJP?
Let’s explore

3. The high command bodies of Congress (eg.
Working Committee) are generally headed by
Gandhi family members. Many members have
never even contested elections, like Ambika Soni.

4. INC has a lot of leaders, but none of them are
organized. Each of them acts on their own, which
is detrimental to the party. In-party dissatisfaction,
voiced mainly by the G23, also makes the party
look weak.

5. INC has a long history of corruption, nepotism, and
fascism – the shadow of which it still can’t escape.

6. Party seniors, who have been associated with the
party for a long time, are now beginning to leave
the party since they no longer see benefit in this
association. Another major reason for defection is
lack of rewards – Jyotiraditya Scindia left because
INC refused to make him the CM of MP.

7. INC’s media team is probably their biggest
drawback. Their public narrative, explaining their
consecutive defeats across states, is always that
their message never reached the audience in the
way they had intended. INC is also unable to
control the media storm about Nehru, or bank upon
their involvement with the independence
movement. Congress still hasn’t changed their
media structure.

8. INC has even begun behaving like the Opposition.
Their stances are pro-minorities to distinguish
themselves from BJP, but minorities are firstly not
enough to win, and secondly, even these minorities
aren’t totally polarized in their favor.

9. INC is a stubborn party with a weak foundation.
Their decline is not only due to BJP, but their own
cons – the range of which includes the
aforementioned. Even with a strategist like
Prashant Kishor on board, they are unlikely to gain
back their position in the country.
