Fight a Battle and Save Money Too

Fight a Battle and Save Money Too

The Congress has been routed all over India. In the biggest defeat ever since India went to polls for the first time, Congress has been voted out of power both at the Centre and in almost all the states it contested.

Soon, Maharashtra will go for Assembly polls. Though the Congress leaders there are not very keen on contesting during the forthcoming elections, it is being said that some of them have decided to file nominations only to retain the hold on their constituencies.

Incidentally, the Congress has been in power for the past 15 years in the state with support from NCP. However, over the years, the Congress leaders have faced corruption charges and presently, there is a leadership crisis within the state with no strong leader holding the party together.

The Congress’ image has also been tarnished by various scams like the irrigation scam, Adarsh Housing Society scam in Mumbai’s plush Colaba area, several other land scams and the indulgent behavior of the party towards leaders charged with graft.

Meanwhile, BJP which did not have a strong presence earlier mobilized its cadre and given its alliance with Shiv Sena has become more organized and has a clear vision for good governance and development.

So, the seasoned politicians of Maharashtra Congress are now looking at contesting the battle nominally by spending very little as they are well aware of the BJP-SS wave within the state.
