Only aam admi, inclusive growth, and effective delivery systems can help the Congress win elections in 2009
“It’s the only strategy that can work for the Congress. Moreover, it has been forced upon the party,” says a political commentator, who has worked for the party for years. What he is talking about is the fact that the Congress today has no option but to fight on the growth and development planks. In a sense, aam admi, ‘inclusive growth’, and building an efficient and effective delivery system are critical for the future electoral success of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
Consider the current vote-bank scenario for the moment. In several states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, regional leaders like Mulayam Singh Yadav and Lalu Prasad Yadav have snatched away the Muslim votes from the Congress. The rise of Mayawati’s BSP is slowly gnawing away at the Dalits and backward classes votes in several northern and western states. The Brahmins had long ago opted to side with the BJP; in recent times, they have decided to ditch the BJP and forge an alliance with Mayawati in Uttar Pradesh.
So, where does it leave the Congress? “It is now a party with no die-hard supporters. It depends on regional alliances to come to power, as it did in the 2004 elections,” says another Delhi-based political analyst.
