Congress Hand Bangled (Failed)
Yes, Congress Hand ‘ Bangled ’ (Failed)!Congress could win just 52 seats – only 4 seats more than its win in 2014. And Congress had got Zero in 18 States. Congress 9 Ex-Chief Ministers were defeated. But, Congress had faired extremely well in Kerala 15 out of 20, in Punjab 8 out of 13, in Tamil Nadu 8 out of 38 (Courtesy DMK who won 23 plus other alliance partners 6 leaving 1 seat to ADMK). The worst part was that Rahul was defeated by BJP Smriti Irani in Amethi with a difference of more than 55,000 – crushing and humiliating defeat. As Rahul had chosen a second seat in Wayanad in Kerala where he won by a whopping margin of over 4.3 lacs , it had saved the party the embarrassment of its own chief failing to win a Lak Sabha seat. Priyanka could not get votes for Congress, as Congress won only one seat – her mother’s seat from UP where She was given charge to campaign. Her campaign was an utter failure and it would be very difficult for Congress in future
