Congress once again seems ready to blame its defeat on EVMs. The leaders included in the three-member team formed by party president Mallikarjun Kharge to find out the reasons for the defeat in the Haryana Assembly elections are perhaps preparing to give a similar answer to their leader. It is a different matter that former CM of Haryana and Bhupendra Singh Hooda, who handled the entire responsibility of this election, has not been included in this factory finding committee. But the names of those who have been given the responsibility have not been disclosed, but Congress sources are saying that It is said that the two leaders from Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh who were sent to Haryana for investigation have been instructed to find out the reasons for this defeat from the people at the ground level.
But in this despair of defeat, how much courage will the leaders have to go from house to house and ask people about the defeat and the question is also of age, so rest will also be necessary. Only if the Congressmen of Delhi start saying that these two leaders, who had gone to investigate the factory, while staying in the hotel, are talking to people on mobile or phone and in the name of asking whether we have lost because of EVMs. So anyone can doubt the leader, right? Then what is the meaning of factory finding? Now the Congressmen may be left with a sigh of defeat in Haryana, but they are worried about the remaining states where the Congressmen are seeing the impact of the Haryana defeat. It would have been better if the Congress had left aside factionalism and won Hariya and then contested elections in the remaining states with full chest.
Union, BJP are excited with the victory in Haryana
Not only BJP but Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is excited by the victory in Haryana and better performance in Jammu and Kashmir. And that is why now the RSS is said to be preparing to win not only the elections in Maharashtra or Jharkhand but also the Delhi elections. Recently, the leaders of Delhi are happy with the two-day meeting of the Sangh held in Ranthambore. It is a different matter that the RSS leaders were said to be angry due to BJP National President JP Nadda’s statements regarding the RSS during the Lok Sabha elections, but Haryana’s victory put an end to this unhappiness. It is also being discussed that That instead of interfering in the matter of appointing the new national president of BJP, the Sangh is now keeping itself aloof.
Some leaders of BJP are saying here that despite the anger of Mohan Bhagwat of the Sangh after the statements of the party’s National President JP Nadda about the Sangh, they knew that their anger would end after the victory in the Haryana elections, and it happened. Same thing. A leader of some stature in the Sangh did not even fail to say that the Sangh knows that if Modi is there then it is possible. Obviously, the Sangh is busy preparing for the assembly elections to be held in various states in 2025. It is also being told that in the Sangh meeting held in Ranthambore itself, BJP MLAs, MPs and state and department heads have been asked to start preparing for the elections in Delhi. If senior BJP MLA of Delhi is to be believed, this time the Sangh and the party want to end their control of Delhi on any condition. Now what BJP will do with the help of Sangh remains to be seen.
BJP wins Haryana and is desperate for Delhi.
BJP is desperate for power in Delhi. In the assembly elections to be held next year, BJP will face a challenge from the Congress besides the ruling AAP party. Seeing the changing conditions of Delhi, BJP is seeing the AAP party becoming weak. Many party leaders are convinced that AAP’s Muslim and Dalit votes may shift from AAP to Congress, in such a situation, BJP will benefit politically from the tussle of votes between these two parties. And that is why BJP does not want to leave any stone unturned in this election. Now if anyone is believing that this strategy of BJP was made after the Lok Sabha elections, then it is not so. BJP sources believe that even before the ticket distribution in the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP was worried about Delhi. And then he canceled the tickets of six of his seven MPs and fielded new faces. And everyone won too. But it is considered certain that three of these MPs will be fielded in the assembly elections.
These are said to include Ramesh Bidhuri, Pravesh Verma, and Meenakshi Lekhi. Now, whether the party stakes on the remaining former MPs or not is a different matter, but the discussion is that these three have also been asked to start preparations for the elections. The tenure of Delhi Assembly is till February 2025. That means elections are to be held only after this. The AAP party in power has made election preparations a week in advance. Congress has started strengthening the organization at the block and district level. So how can BJP remain behind? It has also signaled preparation from the victorious leaders. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, BJP has won all the seven seats of Delhi without any fear, so its morale is no less high. The competition is to be triangular. This time there is a tussle between the three parties.
