Mumbai: With the ruling Mahayuti returning to power with a landslide victory in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, the situation of the opposition Mahavikas Aghadi has worsened. This election has made it clear that the statement of opposition leader Rahul Gandhi and his team in the state that the constitution is in danger has not worked. On the basis of this narrative, Indi Alliance won 30 out of 48 seats in the Lok Sabha elections. This means that Rahul Gandhi’s winning formula has failed in just six months. Congress was very confident after its excellent performance in the Lok Sabha in Maharashtra. This has proved dangerous for them.
Rahul Gandhi raised the issue in all the election meetings in the state that the Constitution is in danger. Apart from this, he also talked about increasing the reservation by fifty percent and also advocated caste census. His argument was that the greater the population, the greater should be their share.
It is noteworthy that in Maharashtra the number of Dalits is about twelve percent while OBCs are 38 percent. Whereas the tribal community is nine percent and the Maratha community is 28 percent. During the Lok Sabha election campaign, when he was saying with Lal Kitab in his hand that BJP wants to destroy the Constitution by getting 400 seats and wants to end the reservation of Dalits and backward classes, then people took his words seriously and gave full support. . Indie Coalition.
But when he said the same things during the election campaign in Maharashtra, his influence among the people was negligible. Those who gave 30 out of 48 Lok Sabha seats to the Indi alliance gave full support in the Assembly. Obviously, the public accepted at the national level that the Constitution and reservation of Rahul and Congress are in danger, but ignoring local issues and lack of local leadership became the reason for Congress’s defeat.
