After the victory in the by-election, the Congress was busy with the head: BJP has prepared a road-map for six months, Congress is still entangled in the leadership, there is a flurry of factionalism

BJP is gearing up for the mission repeat in Himachal Pradesh and has prepared a road-map for the next six months. At the same time, the Congress office-bearers, who are involved in the issue of leadership, are yet to even know the date of their next meeting. It is a matter of relief for the Congress that their established leaders are standing in their respective constituencies, but the party is unable to create an electoral environment in the state.

If political experts are to be believed, after a four-zero clean sweep in the by-election, the Congress has become busy with the item. This mistake may cost the Congress heavy before the assembly elections. That too at a time when the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) party has knocked brilliantly in the state. Meaning the division of the anti-incumbency vote is certain.

The morale of the workers is falling due to factionalism

In every election, five to six percent of the anti-incumbency and two to four percent of the youth vote is there. This voter decides victory and defeat. AAP party is eyeing such voters. Yet a section of the Congress is fueling factionalism for a change in the organisation. Due to this the morale of the workers working on the ground is falling. Due to this factionalism, dozens of Congress workers have already left the party.

Congress has to fight elections without Virbhadra

Himachal Congress is also forgetting that this time they have to enter the election battle without Virbhadra Singh. That Virbhadra, who once roamed in an area and the political atmosphere was heated up just by his statement. Of course, Congress has got sympathy vote in the name of Virbhadra Singh in the by-election, but it is not possible every time. To get votes for Virbhadra Singh’s name and work, it is necessary for the Congress leaders to maintain contact with the public.

AAP will get benefit of Congress’s fun

The more cool the Congress is, the more benefit the Aam Aadmi Party will get. If AAP performs well in the assembly elections, it is difficult for the Congress, which is dreaming of forming the government, to get a majority. If AAP is able to get only anti-incumbency votes then BJP’s dream of Mission Repeat can come true. In both cases, it is a challenging time for the Congress. Like the by-election, if the Congress is successful in giving air to the issues like inflation, unemployment and can get the votes of the anti-incumbency and youth, then the Congress can also perform well in the elections.

BJP’s 6 months program

The BJP core group has fixed the party’s grand contact campaign till the month of September. Under this campaign, which will run till April 30, party officials will reach every booth. After this there will be village center conferences. There is a village center of 10 to 15 booths. In the month of May, the party will hold Tridev Sammelan. From May 15 to June 15, Panna major conferences will be held. From June 25 to 30, the party will hold a youth rally.
