Gujarat polls: Congress likely to face tough road ahead

Hindustan Times  

The Congress party in Gujarat, which in 2017 gave the Bharatiya Janata Party one of its toughest election fights in more than two and half decades of its rule in the state, seems missing in action. While some political observers and experts are of the view that the party may face a terminal decline here on, Congress leaders say it’s too early to write off the party that got about 38% vote share in the 2017 elections, and that Gujarat Congress will bounce back. “If the Congress is not good as the BJP leaders claim, how do their MLAs who join BJP turn good overnight?” Kejriwal during one of his recent visits to Gujarat had announced that the AAP in Gujarat had decided to enter into alliance with Vasava led Bharatiya Tribal Party. “The difference here is that Congress has been in opposition for a similar time period.” While the BJP took the opposition space in West Bengal by replacing the CPM, in Gujarat the AAP is eyeing that space as the main opposition party, he said. “Their poor performance in the last local and civic body elections show that they have lost ground in Gujarat.” Gujarat is the classic case where anti-incumbency is not only against the ruling BJP government but also against the Congress that has been the main opposition party for at least 27 years and has not done enough to come to power and solve the problems of the people of the state, said Puneet Juneja, state secretary for the AAP in Gujarat.
