Excessive rural focus, infighting led to loss in Chhattisgarh: Congress review

IndiaTimes Friday, 8 December 2023
Excessive rural focus, infighting within the party, and communal mobilisation by the BJP were cited as reasons for the Congress defeat in Chhattisgarh elections. The party leadership discussed the debacle and raised questions about the role of EVMs. The BJP won the seats dominated by the OBCs and received support from urban areas. Congress maintained its 2018 vote share due to the backing of SC/ST and minorities. Congress's poor performance in urban areas was attributed to the Hindutva campaign and the party's focus on caste census.
