This is History (2425)

One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. Variants include "You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore".

An analysis-Can Congress survive with these leaders?They are the High Command

In Kerala Congress is almost wiped out with 22 seats, having lost all the Southern districts the traditional Congress strong holds. Bengal wiped out the party.

In the Vidhan Sabha elections, let us see the results of the leaders:-

1. Rahul Gandhi's constituency Wayanad in Kerala

2. Venugopal, General Secretary (Organisation), AICC

3. Adhir Choudary, Congress LoP in Lok Sabha

Rahul Gandhi-Wayanad-

Three INC, one IUML, one LDF independent and two CPI(M)

So, Four UDF and three to LDF.

Venugopal-Alpuzzha-

LDF-06

Cong-01 Ramesh Chennithala

West Bengal-

In all the 7 segments of Adhir Choudhry's Lok Shabha constituency Behrampur, Congress has lost.

Cong has not won a single seat in WB.

in last election Cong 23 MLAs in Bengal

Chhindwara is the only Lok Sabha constituency in the country where all MLAs are of the Congress Party. Everyone knows who represents Chhindwara.

Assembly Elections: Congress, the biggest loser

In the recently held assembly elections in five states, Congress party emerged as the biggest loser. They could not improve its show in Kerala, where Rahul Gandhi spent maximum time in campaigning for UDF but they showed a poor performance. Congress lost power in Puducherry . In Assam and Bengal, despite alliance with other parties, the Congress's performance was dismal.

Why BJP calculations went astray in West Bengal ?

BJP’s biggest mistake in West Bengal, observers say, has been that it relied more on those who came from the TMC. It had to pay for the errors of commission (and omission) of these candidates, about 150, who defected to the BJP in a rush just before the election. The party might have notched up even bigger gains had it had it fielded own party candidates.

DEBATE

Is it justified to allow gatherings at political rallies and religious functions amidst Covid surge ?

Even as Covid cases continue to surge across the country, how far it is justified for the ‘powers that be’ to ignore implementation of Corona norms (restrictions) at political rallies in the poll bound states and religious functions ? Does the deadly virus becomes ineffective at such gatherings ?
