Rahul Gandhi explains why Congress is not winning elections

In a live conversation with Ambassador Nicholas Burns of Harvard Kennedy School on April 02, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi explained why his party is not winning elections in the country.

He said, "In Assam, the gentleman who runs our campaign has been sending videos of BJP candidates running around voting machines in their cars.

But there is nothing going on in national media." "There is a wholesale capture of the institutional framework of this country.

There is absolute financial and media dominance that the BJP has.

It is not just Congress, the BSP, SP, NCP are not winning elections.

To fight elections, I need institutional structures, I need a judicial system that protects me, I need a media that is reasonably free, I need financial parity, I need a whole set of structures that actually allow me to operate a political party," he added.

Maharashtra Election Results: Adani and Dharavi Issues Fail in MH Election | Mahayuti | BJP |

In the Maharashtra elections, the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is emerging as a strong winner. Despite the heated debate around the Dharavi issue and Adani's involvement, these topics did not resonate with voters. High-profile leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Uddhav Thackeray, and Aditya Thackeray raised various allegations, but these issues failed to sway the electorate in the way they were expected to. With the Mahayuti securing a significant victory, the political landscape of Maharashtra remains firmly in the hands of the BJP and its allies. #MaharashtraElectionResult #MaharashtraElection2024 #ElectionResultLive #MaharashtraElectionResults2024 #AssemblyElectionResults #MaharashtraAssemblyElectionResult #LiveElectionResult #MaharashtraResultsLive #ElectionResults2024 #MaharashtraPolls2024 #LiveResultsMaharashtra #MaharashtraAssemblyResults #ElectionResultUpdates #MaharashtraVotes2024 #AssemblyPollsResults ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.336~GR.122~

Jharkhand Assembly Poll Results: Find out what factors decided the previous government of Jharkhand

The previous Jharkhand Assembly elections were decided by a mix of socio-economic and political factors that resonated deeply with the state's voters. Key issues included tribal welfare, unemployment, rural development, and land rights, which became decisive in swaying public opinion. The JMM-Congress-RJD alliance successfully leveraged its tribal connect and promises of inclusive governance, securing significant support from rural and marginalised communities. Meanwhile, the BJP's focus on development projects and infrastructure faced backlash from anti-incumbency sentiments and dissatisfaction over economic policies. #jharkhandelection #maharashtraelectionresult2024 #electionresults2024 #votecounting #liveresults #liveelectionresults #assemblyelectionresult #jharkhandresult #jharkhandelectionresult #jharkhandelectionresultlive #jharkhandelection2024 #electionresults #brekingnews #maharashtraelection2024 #livenews ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~GR.121~
