The Congress party has made a tremendous comeback in the Lok Sabha elections 2024. Emerging from its worst electoral performance in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the party has performed well. Many important reasons are being given behind this performance of the party. Among these, the change in the post of president and the compromising policies of Mallikarjun Kharge are prominent.
Usually, the post of National President of the Congress Party remains with the members of the Gandhi family. Sonia Gandhi has been the national president of the party for years. After this Rahul Gandhi took over this post. During the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the command of the Congress Party was with Sonia Gandhi. During the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi was the national president of the party. In both these elections, Congress could not touch the third figure. In the 2014 elections, the Congress got 44 seats, while in the year 2019, the party got only 52 seats.
After the crushing defeat in two consecutive Lok Sabha and assembly elections of many states, the voices of protest are also getting louder within and outside the Congress party. Meanwhile, BJP and other opposition parties also kept accusing the Congress of being dominated by a single family and promoting nepotism. Meanwhile, the Congress adopted a strategy to give the post of president to another leader. In 2022, elections were held for the post of National President of Congress. In this, Mallikarjun Kharge got the command of the party.
Kharge is a prominent Dalit face of the Congress party as well as a veteran leader of the Congress party. Kharge is usually identified as a compromise leader. He tries to take everyone along with consensus. Whether it is an internal matter of the Congress or an issue related to the India Alliance. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Congress has benefited a lot from his stance. It was under the leadership of Kharge that the Congress entered into a seat-sharing agreement with the India Alliance. Congress had to adopt a compromise stance in many states. The effect of this was also seen in these elections. Congress is seen performing better this time than in the elections of 2014 and 2019.
