Why doesn't Rahul Gandhi concentrate on the West Bengal election but only focus on the Keral election?

Congress lost Bengal political plot in 1970s and can never regain control. Congress leader RaGa is not hoping any miracle in Bengal. Except from some border and minority pockets like Malda and Murshidabad, almost all congress candidates will score less than NOTA votes in Bengal 2026 election. Congress is not even top four main political party in this election. A newly formed party by ex-TMC leader Humayun Kabir supported by AIMIM of Hyderabad may get more votes than congress. The top two parties with vote share is expected to be BJP and TMC followed by distant CPIM.

In Assam, congress is directly fighting with ruling BJP but they have lost a major alliance AIUDF of Badruddin Ajmal. Hence congress will perform poorly and it will be worst result for Assam congress in last four decades. Realising this, many top Asssam congress leaders joined BJP just before the election. Also Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has stated many times that whenever RaGa campaigns in an area, BJP wins! Hence, RaGa is avoiding Assam also.

RaGa’s focus is now Keralam as his last hope. The leftist politics and demography supports congress appeasement and ‘secular’ politics here. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge in an election rally in Keralam abused the people of Gujarat for being ‘illeterate’ and hoped that 100% literate state Keralam people will appreciate this abuse. But within few days, he had to apologize for his abusive statement. This is called ‘foot-in-mouth’ disease and every congress leaders are suffering from this. In Hindi, this is called ‘thook ke chatna’.

The question is, why he made the derogatory statement? Is it because Gujarat, just like Bengal is completely out of reach politically for the congress? Or was a cheap way to get votes in Kerala? Politicians often made derogatory statements for vote bank politics and get away with it due to lax legal system. But is this not an insult to Gandhi ji and Sardar Patel who were once top congress leaders?

This is called foot-in-mouth disease

Amit Shah slams Mallikarjun Kharge's 'illiterate Gujaratis' remark in Kerala
In an exclusive interview with India Today during his election campaign in Alappuzha, Kerala, Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge for his remarks suggesting Gujaratis are 'illiterate'. Shah stated that such comments reflect the 'sick mindset' of the Congress and represent an insult to icons like Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel, and Vikram Sarabhai, as well as voters in 21 states. Addressing the political landscape in Kerala, Shah dismissed the claims of the UDF and LDF calling the BJP a 'B-team', asserting that the BJP is the 'A-team' while the opposition parties are the ones acting as B-teams. He highlighted the BJP's growing vote share in the state, which rose from 14% in 2014 to 20% in 2024, and cited the election of a BJP mayor in Thiruvananthapuram as evidence of the party's rising influence. Shah emphasised that the party's campaign is built on the pillars of faith, development, and security.

Will Sonia Gandhi resign from her post in the Congress Party?

 Congress is a dynastic party. Sonia Gandhi was congress parliamentary party chairperson. If she resigns, only two dynastic leaders are there who can be given that post – Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi. Congress has decided to retain Sonia Gandhi for the post. Some ting never change in congress. PV Narasimha Rao tried to democratize this dynastic party but failed. He also paid the price for that.

Don't vote me if I don't clean Yamuna, will Kejriwal honor this commitment? Why don’t we have a gutsy politician like Kejriwal in India?

Delhi CM Kejriwal has been promising the clean the Yamuna since 2015 massive election win. His failure in this regard in in 9 years only gain proved that old political theory – leftist, communist and naxalite leaders are good for nothing. They can fight with others, blame others and give freebies to win election. Just look at Kejriwal’s mentor Mamata Banerjee’s 13 year tenure in Bengal as a basket case of naxalite govt.

Is Jawaharlal Nehru known as the father of the Indian Constitution?

Image
PM Nehru and subsequent dynastic congress leaders amended the constitution nearly 80 times. This way Jawaharlal Nehru can be said as the father of Indian Constitution. In almost all election rallies, congress leader RaGa creates environment of fear mongering that the BJP will change the constitution if it comes to power for third term. But same RaGa says ‘We will change the constitution to remove the 50% limit on reservations’ and ‘we will change the constitution to redistribute reservation for OBC, SC, and ST to one particular community which is congress’s core vote bank’ and ‘we will change the constitution to bring all peacefuls into the OBC’. Congress leader RaGa multiple times advocated for wealth to be redistributed as per the proportion of various sections in India’s population while speaking to people at a Nyay Manch events. BJP is useing this as more ammunition to attack the Wayanad MP and his party amid the Lok Sabha polls, questioning the communist economic model that he is ...
