DC Edit | Allies’ support for Mamata wake-up call for Congress

Deccan Chronicle  

bloc was formed in 2023 with the goal of what they said stopping the BJP from its series of assaults on the Constitution and its institutions and preventing the saffron alliance from coming to power again after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, among other things. But the grand old party of Indian politics chose to neglect its responsibility when it virtually ignored its allies in the elections to the Assemblies in five states held in October-November 2023. The bitter experience brought some sense to the Congress leadership which acted with a spirit of accommodation and stitched together a viable platform against the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections. The Congress must disabuse itself of such thoughts that it commands the leadership of the centrist forces in the country by default, that the Opposition system revolves around it and that the party centered around the Gandhi family. Each one of the major allies, be it the Trinamul Congress, the Samajwadi Party, the DMK, the RJD or the AAP, is leading its fight against the BJP in its own right and has the wherewithal to give the saffron combine a run for its money.
