Hindi heartland rejects Congress: What went wrong for the grand old party

IndiaTimes Sunday, 3 December 2023
The people of Hindi heartland have rejected the Congress raising questions about the grand old party's strategy to win elections. What should worry the Congress is that neither its poll guarantees seem to be working in the Hindi heartland nor its strategy to rely heavily on established regional leadership. The assembly election results have once again exposed the inability of the Congress to take on the BJP in a direct contest. The Telangana victory comes as the only compensation for the Congress. It helps the grand old party consolidate its position in the south.

On Wednesday, the Election Commission took action against former Telangana CM and BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao, barring him from campaigning for 48 hours, effective from 8 pm today. This decision was made due to "derogatory and objectionable statements" made by Rao against the Congress party. The EC's action followed a complaint filed by Congress leader G Niranjan, prompting the commission to issue a notice to K Chandrashekar Rao. The EC noted that Rao had previously received several advisories and instructions regarding his speeches. #LSPolls2024 #TelanganaElections #KCR #CampaignBan #Elections2024 #KChandrashekarRao #ElectionBan #PoliticalNews #TelanganaCM #CampaignRestriction #PoliticalBan #ECAction #CampaigningBarred #ElectoralViolation #PoliticalSanction ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.194~GR.124~
