Maharashtra poll drubbing a wake-up call for Congress

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: Still smarting from the shock defeat in Haryana, the near-wipeout in Maharashtra proved to be yet another punch for the Congress, which is struggling to keep afloat as a national force. Though Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said the party would analyse the “unexpected” Maharashtra results in detail, questions are being raised about its failure to adopt a coherent strategy and narrative. In Maharashtra and Jharkhand, the Congress was on a sticky wicket during seat talks with allies after losing Haryana to the BJP for the third straight time. Observers say that losing a big state like Maharashtra after Haryana is likely to weaken the party’s bargaining power in an era of coalition politics.
