The election results of 4 states including madhya pradesh and rajasthan have created a lot of panic in the
Congress organization. congress has been completely wiped out in 3 states of the hindi belt. The party’s
reputation has definitely been saved in southern Telangana. Here congress has defeated the ruling BRS.
According to the new equation, congress will now have power in 3 states. These include the hill state of
Himachal and the South indian states of karnataka and Telangana. karnataka and telangana are very important
for the party in terms of budget and resources.
Due to the formation of governments in karnataka and telangana, the discussion about the emergence of new
power centers within the party has intensified. The discussion is also about Karnataka’s deputy cm DK
Shivakumar, who has played an important role in forming the government in telangana after Karnataka. There is
discussion about Shivkumar also because the party won in karnataka when he was the state president, but he was
not made the Chief Minister. On the contrary, in telangana, State President revanth reddy is leading in the race
for Chief Minister. There is hardly any opposition within the party in his name.
Let's talk about the power center of congress first.
Even though mallikarjun Kharge is the president within the congress, the power center is still with the Gandhi
family and those close to rahul Gandhi. The leaders of 2000 batch have considerable influence in the national
organization. Organization General Secretary KC Venugopal and Treasurer ajay Maken are the leaders of this
batch. Organization General Secretary KC Venugopal has been holding the post of Organization General
Secretary of congress for the last 5 years, calling the udaipur Declaration a hoax. In the congress Constitution,
this post is considered the most important after the President.General Secretary of 2 states randeep surjewala and
General Secretary Bhanwar jitendra singh also come from this group. At the state level, old leaders still dominate
the organization. Most of these leaders have been effective since the time of Indira. The fight between old and
new leaders has created problems for Congress. Due to the laxity of the congress high command (where most of
the 2000 batch leaders are from), the party has lost power in Haryana, rajasthan, madhya pradesh and
Chhattisgarh.
