- Now the eyes will be on the opinion of Parliament.
(New Delhi News) New Delhi. Finally, another generation of the Gandhi-Nehru family, Priyanka Gandhi, entered electoral politics. Priyanka Gandhi, who has been active in politics behind the scenes for three decades, filed her nomination from the Wayanad Lok Sabha seat in Kerala. There is a 100 per cent chance of him winning because the Congress and the Muslim League have the oldest alliance in Kerala in the Muslim-dominated Wayanad seat.
As long as the Muslim League is in Congress, it will be very difficult to defeat it. Common people are very interested in the Wayanad elections, whether Priyanka wins with more votes than her brother Rahul Gandhi or with less. But politically, the real question is whether the Gandhi family has made the right decision by bringing Priyanka into electoral politics. Because in the phase that the Congress is going through now, there are doubts whether the party will get any benefit from Priyanka winning the elections. The opposition had a great opportunity to attack Congress. It is certain that Priyanka will automatically become a power center within Parliament. This can also be seen during debates in the House.
It does not seem like Priyanka is going to make any special charisma after winning the elections because so far she has not been very successful in the opportunities she had in a state like Uttar Pradesh, she made all possible efforts to revive the party one by one. half a decade, but without any success, first his initiative was to add Prashant Kishor, then the assembly elections were contested in alliance with the Samajwadi Party, in which the party suffered a crushing defeat. After that, he himself took charge of Uttar. Pradesh and did many experiments but the party reached its worst phase.
In the 2022 assembly elections, the party's vote share dropped to three per cent. I'm a woman, I can fight, 40 percent tickets for women, opportunity for new faces, all experiments failed. Even then doubts arose that Priyanka had come to the fore at the wrong time or that she too was not capable of understanding the changing politics of the country. The party appointed less experienced secretaries alongside her, whose image raised doubts. In some ways, his real political debut was very disappointing. He couldn't even correctly identify his team.
After Uttar Pradesh, he also intervened politically in Punjab and Rajasthan, where his action also failed and remained in the headlines even during the election of the party's national president. At that time there was even talk that she herself wanted to become president. Mallikarjun Kharge became president when mother Sonia Gandhi did not give him the green signal.
After this, there was also a discussion that she wanted big responsibility in the party, such as a position as acting president or vice president. The family was not prepared for this either. It is said that Priyanka first wanted to go to Rajya Sabha. from his mother didn't make sense either. It is also discussed that at the time of the Lok Sabha elections, Priyanka had expressed her desire to contest the Rae Bareli elections. It is argued here that the family was not prepared for this. Then, the news that her husband Robert Vadra would contest the Amethi elections made many headlines. Vadra himself appeared before the media and expressed his desire to participate in the elections.
In the end, under pressure from the family, against his wishes, Rahul Gandhi agreed to contest the Rae Bareli elections. Rahul probably knew that Priyanka's entry into electoral politics would provide an opportunity to the opposition. Therefore, he was not willing to participate in the Uttar elections. Pradesh.
Rahul knew that if he won against Rae Bareli, Priyanka would compete against Wayanad. There is no doubt that Priyanka Gandhi wanted to enter electoral politics for a long time, but the family was not ready. Under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, the party could not achieve enough success to have proven its position in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Congress won 99 seats and assumed that Rahul had returned for the party.
But he did not realize that the party did not achieve victory on its own. From North to South, Congress failed to act in a way that seemed like an achievement. The party did not realize that its victory was due to the mistakes of the BJP. Found due to. If the party had worked properly in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, then Haryana probably would not have lost now that Priyanka has entered electoral politics.
Its result will come at a time when results from Maharashtra and Jharkhand will also come. No one doubts Priyanka's victory, but it is actually Maharashtra and Jharkhand. If the BJP has changed the situation in these two states, then it is Kerala. Congress It will be difficult to regain control before the elections.
In the match, doubts will arise again about who is responsible. After these two states, there are Delhi and Bihar. Then, in 2026, will come Kerala, where this time the Congress alliance has the only chance of winning. Internal politics of Congress The effect will be visible. If Kerala wins, the Congressmen themselves will give credit to Priyanka. If the Left alliance reverses like in 2021, questions will arise over the Congress leadership, because then Priyanka will also come under the scanner. In any case, today the number of power centers in Congress is already five to five. Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge and KC Venugopal is the general secretary of the organisation, but focuses more on the Gandhi family's visits than the organisation.
More people are seen around Rahul. In such a situation, questions about weak organization are likely to arise. However, right now Rahul is the real boss. The problem with the Congress is that Rahul Gandhi does not communicate directly with its leaders. They consider everything that the group leaders explain to be correct. Congressmen are quick to change their beliefs in politics. The day Priyanka filed her candidacy, there was a lot of rhetoric on television. On Wayanad results day, the rhetoric. praise for Priyanka will increase.
Sonia and Rahul also know that if the party's performance does not improve, the Congress can give free rein to factionalism at any time. If the performance of Maharashtra and Jharkhand is good, the Congress's situation will be good. If you lose, the problems will increase. Let's see if he wins in Kerala. Who will Congress give credit to at that point? This means that the challenges for Priyanka Gandhi will be the same as for Rahul. Without giving strength to the organization, elections cannot be won with help. of allies. Priyanka will also have to understand this.
