The narendra modi government is all set to take charge of the country once again after the people showered the bharatiya janata party with an even greater majority than it got in 2014. The congress yet again had to face defeat and could not even bag 54 seats so as to loosing claim to be the leader of opposition. With this vast mandate, the bharatiya janata party believes it to be an affectionate nudge for them to carry on owing to their developmental schemes and reforms in the past five years.
Congress president Rahul Gandhi offered to quit as the party president but that was unanimously declined by the congress workers committee. Owing to the bharatiya janata party’s impressive performance in West Bengal, chief minister mamata banerjee also offered to quit as the chief minister but her party refused.
All seven seats in Delhi were painted saffron with the aam admi party’s candidates coming a distant third in about three seats. Delhi chief minister Arvind kejriwal has gone silent and has not yet addressed the media though he congratulated narendra modi and the aam admi party’s sole lok sabha member Bhagwant Mann and that too from Punjab.
In uttarpradesh, the alliance between the samajwadi party and the bahujan samaj party bagged a total of 15 seats with mayawati taking 10 of her candidates to parliament. Akhilesh yadav grabbed the attention by summoning all party spokesmen to Lucknow and having no interaction with the media whatsoever.
The congress party in karnataka and madhyapradesh are believed to be vulnerable with the congress winning a single seat each out of the 53 lok sabha seats. The state of Karnataka also witnessed prominent congressmen speaking out against the leadership and this further complicates matters for the congress party.
Odisha drew peculiar colours on its map as it was quite a contest for the biju janata dal in the parliamentary election but it sailed through the assembly election with a jubilant majority all set to see a 5th term for the chief minister Naveen pattnaik. Kerala and Punjab were the only states where congress bagged double digits as opposed to a number of states where it couldn’t even open it’s count.
With a number of state elections lined up starting from the next year, it’s a challenge for all regional and the congress party to put up a fight. With amit shah winning his first lok sabha seat it will be an exciting anticipation to who will be the party president to bear the lotus standard in all these coming elections.
