Aakhir Tak – In Depth

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed BJP workers at the party headquarters in Delhi after their resounding victory in the Delhi Assembly polls. This victory marks a potential return to power in Delhi after 27 years. During his victory speech, PM Modi took a swipe at the INDIA bloc and the infighting among the opposition parties that form the alliance. He stated, “INDIA bloc members entered the fray against Congress in Delhi; they managed to defeat Congress, but they could not help AAP win.” Modi’s comments highlighted the perceived failures of the INDIA alliance, particularly the Congress party’s loss in the Delhi election.

PM Modi was referring to the visible rift within the INDIA bloc, an alliance formed before the Lok Sabha elections with the stated goal of defeating the BJP. While the INDIA bloc initially presented a united front during the general elections, internal conflicts soon surfaced, leading to evident divisions. For example, in Haryana, Congress and AAP decided to contest separately, mirroring the decision of these parties, allied at the national level, to compete independently in Delhi.

During the Delhi elections, AAP and Congress became bitter rivals, engaging in public mudslinging campaigns against each other. Modi further attacked Congress, labeling it a “parasite” that harms its allies. “Today, the public has given Congress a strong message. In Delhi, Congress has scored a double hattrick of zero. The country’s oldest political party has failed to open its account for six consecutive times in the country’s capital, and they are giving themselves a gold medal of defeat. The country is not ready to trust Congress; it sinks and also harms its allies,” PM Modi asserted.

The Prime Minister also accused Congress of “stealing issues of its allies and attempting to appropriate their vote banks.” He cited instances such as “Congress has stolen issues of Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh, DMK in Tamil Nadu, and RJD in Bihar.”

“After 2014, Congress also tried to appropriate the BJP vote bank by making rounds of temples. But they stopped when they realised their plans were not succeeding,” PM Modi revealed during his victory speech in Delhi. This statement alludes to Congress’s attempt to broaden its appeal, but according to Modi, these efforts proved unsuccessful. Modi’s overall message conveyed skepticism about the INDIA bloc’s unity and the Congress party’s viability. He depicted a fractured opposition and a Congress party struggling to maintain relevance.
