Day by day it is becoming ever interesting to follow the General Elections 2019 in India. the political turf this time around is more focused on the Social Media Campaigning apart from the traditional means. With the polling on the first three of seven polling phases completed, speculations are ever increasing with whether the wave is Pro-incumbency or Anti-incumbency?
Whatever the case it may unfold on May 23, 2019, the elections this year around are definitely rising the goosebumps for those who are keenly following them. Be it the case of Rahul Gandhi filing nomination from Wayanad, KL or the talks in town that fluttered around Priyanka Vadra (not Gandhi) to be fielded from Varanasi to the point of defamation suits and contempt of court being filed against various politicians / leaders; all these cases are making stuff more and more interesting for the outcome.
However, from where I have been observing and it is not associated with me not liking the Gandhi-Vadra family per say, Indian National Congress is not pitched anywhere close to victory and the way the body language of their cadres is, they are not prepared well to win or to be in the ruling coalition either. Even if per say there would be a coalition Government formed by the current opposition dubbed as “Mahagathbandhan” INC may provide support to the Government and actually be part of the actual ministerial portfolio. Why, because I don’t see Rahul Gandhi winning either of the two seats in Wayanad (Probably would go to Communist Candidate) or in Amethi (more probability of Smriti Irani here). In such a circumstance, they would definitely lose the face they are trying to project as Prime Ministerial Candidate and if that is not there, they definitely wouldn’t be able to face the rest of current opposition parties for their claims to form Government. Overall sad story in making for INC.
