Loose cords, disunity at large

For the upcoming assembly elections, parties face a tough time

Politicians and party workers generally work together during election time. But that doesn’t seem to be the case for the upcoming assembly elections in MP, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Delhi. While parties in Rajasthan are facing problems because of new faces in Chhattisgarh. Congressmen are encircling ex-CM and senior politician, Ajit Singh Jogi. Rate of formation of groups is at its peak in MP and Congress has lost hope in Delhi.

Both Congress and BJP are trying to bring in new faces in Rajasthan and are facing internal conflicts. While leaders from respective parties disagree that there is any kind of tussle within the parties, no one can deny that Congress is divided into blocs. State president close to 10 Janapath, has asked for removal of people above 70 years of age. Although, there has been no official acceptance, it shows cracks are appearing within the party. Jats want to see their person as the CM, yet BSP wants a Muslim to hold the seat. Conflicts again. Meanwhile in Delhi the situation is different. Congress is not too sure of their win this time. Why else would Sonia Gandhi not utter a word about Sheila Dixit winning the seat, which she had so fervently done five years back.
