Rahul Gandhi gets a big opportunity
The dominance of the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi is seen to be breaking. Apart from this, Arvind Kejriwal has also faced defeat from New Delhi. He was defeated by BJP's Pravesh Verma. The Congress, although no one has succeeded in winning a seat in Delhi, still seems to benefit the most. Kejriwal's defeat has opened the way for Rahul Gandhi to establish himself as a natural leader of India block.
The power struggle within the India faction has been going on for months. Leaders like Mamta Banerjee and Akhilesh Yadav supported Kejriwal in the Delhi elections, after which there were speculations that all the parties want to be distance from the Congress.
TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee gave this suggestion
TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee even suggested that Mamata Banerjee should lead the alliance. Banerjee had said, “Congress and other opposition parties should accept their failures and give priority to unity on personal ambitions. They should give up their ego and accept Mamata Banerjee as the leader of the Indian block.” He told the recent defeat of the Congress in Maharashtra and Haryana as evidence that the party should reconsider its leadership role.
Aam Aadmi Party's difficulties increased
The defeat of Arvind Kejriwal has weakened the influence of the Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab, Gujarat and other places. The Congress can now strengthen its position in these states. After the defeat of Arvind Kejriwal, now Rahul Gandhi can lead himself forward as the biggest face of the opposition.
