Historical Congress party's status has gone to rock bottom in both AP and Telangana. While the Congress party has lost its grounds in Andhra Pradesh since 2014, the party may struggle hard to make its presence felt in Telangana. But then, who is responsible for Congress' poor plight? "It's none other than AP CM Chandrababu Naidu," asserted political analysts. Checkout the following analysis.
REASON FOR CONGRESS DISAPPEARANCE IN AP: Although then union government, led by the Congress party, took the most crucial decision of dividing united AP, it was the collective decision of all political parties. CBN, himself, sent his letter of consent to union government for AP state's division.
But then, CBN joined hands with then CM N Kiran Kumar Reddy and indulged in the bad propaganda on Congress party and its leaders through caste biased yellow media. Yellow media did a great damage to Congress party during genera elections, 2014 in AP. Since social media was not so active in those days, people innocently trusted Goebbels propaganda against the Congress party. As a result, Congress bit the dust in the general polls. The party couldn't win even a single seat. And the party can't win any more seats in future as well.
REASON FOR CONGRESS' HUMILIATING DEFEAT IN TELANGANA, 2018: As a matter of fact, Congress party appeared super strong when KCR dissolved the TRS government on September 6. Since the Congress party was filled with many stalwart and senior politicians, it was thought the party would give a tough competition to the TRS. In the worst case, Congress party could have won 45-50 seats.
And then, it was the historical blunder from Congress' top leaders. They invited its arch rival TDP to form a People's Front. Thereupon, CBN was alleged to have pumped in hundreds of crores for electioneering. He unnecessarily roped in Nandamuri Suhasini at Kukatpally and sent Balakrishna for poll campaigning. Above all, pro TDP caste biased yellow media projected CBN's acts more than like anything and degraded the statuses of Congress party's leaders. Having felt it was the overdose of action by yellow media and CBN, neutral voters merely turned to TRS. According to analysts, Congress party, TJS and even CPI could have won more seats, had they contested alone without forming an alliance.
All in all, CBN turned the prime reason for Congress party's disappearance in AP and the party's humiliating defeat in Telangana.
