The Congress party suffered its worst-ever electoral defeat in Bihar, winning only 6 of 70 contested seats despite Rahul Gandhi's highly publicized 'Voter Adhikar Yatra.' This crushing loss highlights significant leadership problems, with Gandhi's absence during critical campaign periods leaving party workers demoralized. Meanwhile, the BJP-led NDA maintained strong ground presence through Modi, Shah, and Adityanath's extensive campaigning. Internal criticism from Congress veterans points to deeper organizational failures that continue to plague the party despite occasional state-level victories elsewhere, raising serious questions about its future as India's primary opposition force.
