The country’s first general elections were held in the year 1951-52. The Indian National Congress (INC) had captured 364 seats out of 489 and its vote share was about 45%. This was the period when a single party was in power over the entire country. But today, after 70 years, the same Congress is limited to the government of only four states. Is this 140-year-old party, which once decided the direction and condition of the country, now counting its last breaths or is it waiting for a new beginning?

Congress reached every village by winning more than 400 seats

Congress prepared its political ground through powerful leaders like Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. The party held power at the Center for more than 50 years between 1952 and 2014. In the 1984 elections, Congress had got a record of more than 400 seats. This was the time when Congress’s support base extended from Hindu-dominated society to minorities and deprived classes. The organization of the party was strong from village to village and a complete system was running under the name ‘Congress System’.

When and how did the disintegration of Congress begin?

Experts believe that the real decline of Congress began after 1989, when it lost absolute majority power at the Center and had to depend on coalition politics. Allegations of corruption, internal factionalism in the organization and the rise of regional parties started hollowing out the roots of the party. Then in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Congress was overthrown and it was reduced to only 44 seats, while its vote share was reduced to 19.3%. After slight improvement in 2019, the party secured 99 seats and 21.26% vote share in 2024, but still proved to be dwarf in front of the Modi wave.

Current reality: Government of only 4 states

If we look at the latest situation of 2026, Congress currently has its government in only four states. After a big victory in Kerala in the 2026 assembly elections, the Congress is now in power in three southern states – Karnataka, Telangana and Kerala, apart from only Himachal Pradesh in North India. In Jharkhand, it is part of the government in alliance with JMM, but the leadership there is with Hemant Soren.

In states like Bihar and Tamil Nadu, the party is either playing the role of a minor ally or is completely marginalized. At the same time, in states like Delhi, West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Assam, Congress’s support base has either ended or is very weak.

What are the five big reasons for the decline of Congress?

The decline of Congress cannot be explained by one or two reasons, there is a well-planned political process behind it:

• Weak leadership and organizational discord: Under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, the party has faced more than 95 electoral defeats. Internal factionalism and disconnection of the high command from ground reality is continuously weakening the party.
• Crisis of ideology: BJP projected Congress as a politician of ‘Muslim appeasement’, which shook the confidence of Hindu majority voters.
• Rise and polarization of BJP: Since 2014, Congress has not won an outright victory in any contest in North India because BJP has been successful in polarizing on religious lines.
• Process of defection and leaving the party: After 2014, hundreds of leaders and workers left Congress and joined BJP or other parties. This trend was at its peak between 2017 and 2021.
• Distrust in coalition politics: The allies of the India alliance, be it the Trinamool Congress or the Aam Aadmi Party, are not ready to accept the national leadership of the Congress, which has weakened the opposition unity.

So is the Congress Party going to end?

The answer to this question is not easy. However, the India alliance is limited to only 6 states and one union territory and many BJP leaders are calling it ‘non-existent outside Kerala’. Despite this, it is difficult to make predictions in politics. The 99 seats won in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections definitely proved that the party still has the strength to fight. The growing influence of the party in South India and movements like ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ have energized the workers.

But the future of the party will depend on how quickly it overcomes its weaknesses. Congress will have to build a strong organization, rework the caste and regional equations and set a clear ideological direction. These are the challenges that the party will have to overcome. If Congress fails to do this, then its story in the history books will be limited to a ‘golden past’.

On 8 April 2026, BJP released its final candidate list for the West Bengal Assembly elections. There was not a single Muslim name among all the candidates declared for 294 seats. On April 8, the party made Rakesh Singh the last candidate from Kolkata Port seat and completed the list, whereas in the last elections there were Muslim BJP candidates. So should we assume that BJP Muslims of Bengal no longer trust Muslims? Let us understand BJP’s Bengal magic in the explainer…

Question 1: How many Muslim candidates did BJP have in the last elections in Bengal? What was the result?
answer: The last assembly elections were held in West Bengal in 2021. At that time BJP had fielded Muslim candidates on only 8 out of 294 seats. These were mostly in Muslim dominated areas like Dinajpur, Malda and Murshidabad. But the results were shocking. Not even one of the 8 Muslim candidates won. Muslim dominated 112 seats were won by Trinamool Congress (TMC). TMC got 75% votes, while BJP got only 7%.

In Sujapur, Malda, a candidate got single digit votes in 244 out of 366 booths, 0 votes in 19 booths. BJP won 77 seats across Bengal, but its performance was very weak in Muslim areas.

Earlier in 2016, BJP had fielded only 3 Muslim candidates. None of these were successful. In 2016, BJP had got only 3 seats. That means the trend is clear that the numbers kept decreasing every time.

Question 2: So what is BJP’s strategy in the elections this time?
answer: BJP’s strategy is now completely based on ‘winnability first’. The party feels that Muslim candidates on BJP tickets do not get the support of Muslim voters. The Muslim population in Bengal is about 33%, but a large part of Muslim voters are strongly associated with TMC.

BJP is now focusing on 100% consolidation of Hindu votes. It wants to consolidate the Hindu population by raising the issue of ‘minority appeasement’ and emphasizing on issues like development, security, border security. Minority Morcha leaders are also saying that service to the community is not about fielding candidates, but about development and security.

Bengal BJP Minority Morcha President Ali Hussain clearly said, ‘The party believes that responsibility for any community does not depend only on fielding candidates from that community.’

After the defeat of Muslim candidates in 2021, the party concluded that even by giving tickets one does not get votes, hence it has completely turned its back on this route.

Question 3: How many Muslim candidates did other parties field in the 2026 Bengal elections?
answer: Compared to BJP, all other parties have placed bets on Muslim candidates:

• Congress: Maximum 78 Muslim candidates.
• TMC: 47 Muslim candidates.
• Left Front: 26 Muslim candidates.
• AIMIM and AJUP alliance: More than 12 candidates in Muslim dominated areas.

Due to BJP’s absence, the opposition is calling it ‘anti-Muslim’, but BJP argues that the responsibility is fulfilled not by ticket but by work.

Question 4: What impact can this decision have on the electoral equation?
answer: Political expert Rashid Kidwai says that in 2021, 75% of Muslim votes went to TMC. Even in 2026, most of the Muslim votes may go towards TMC or Congress. Votes may get divided by small parties like AIMIM. This could be an indirect benefit for BJP. Overall, BJP’s target is to increase its vote share to 38% in 2021 by consolidating Hindu votes. BJP also wants to fight Hindu vote consolidation in Muslim dominated seats. At the same time, TMC’s emphasis is on further strengthening the Muslim vote.

Experts believe that if Muslim vote is divided then BJP may benefit, but if TMC keeps it united then polarization of Muslim vote will further strengthen it.

Question 5: So how big is this decision and what next?
answer: This decision of 2026 is the clearest indication of BJP’s Bengal strategy that ‘winnability first, community representation later.’ There was no benefit in fielding 8 Muslim candidates in 2021, so the party has now sidelined it. For BJP, this is not just a candidate list, but a new direction of Bengal politics. BJP says that 2 lakh Muslim members will be served through development and not through tickets. But the opposition is calling it ‘ignoring Muslims’. The real decision will be taken on the day of counting on May 4, 2026.

29 January 2026… Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said, ‘Trouble Mia Muslim in any way… If he faces trouble, he will leave Assam…’ There are only a few days left for the Assam assembly elections, in such a situation, this statement of CM Himanta seems to be working at the ground level. However, it started with delimitation in 2023. That means there were 34 Muslim dominated seats in the entire state, which had the power to overturn the results. The areas of those seats were changed, due to which now Muslims are left on only 20-22 seats. So will Muslim MLAs be eliminated in Assam? Let’s understand in the explainer…

Question 1: What is the current number of Muslim MLAs in Assam and will it decrease in 2026?
answer: The last assembly elections in India’s north-eastern state of Assam were held in 2021, in which a total of 31 Muslim MLAs were elected. Of these, 16 were from Congress and 15 were from All India United Democratic Front i.e. AIUDF. This number had the power to overturn the election results, but after just 5 years the situation changed.

Now the number of Muslim MLAs is expected to reduce to 22 in the elections to be held on April 9, 2026, because delimitation took place in Assam in 2023. If we understand in simple words, the scope or boundaries of 126 seats were changed. This will cause huge loss of votes to Muslim candidates. According to the 2011 census, the Muslim population in Assam is 34%, but the representation was already low and is going to decrease further. That means there is no big Muslim leader in Assam.

Question 2: What is delimitation and what happened to it in Assam?
answer: Due to delimitation in Assam, 126 assembly seats remained the same, but their boundaries were changed. The biggest impact was on Muslim dominated areas. Earlier 35 seats were in Muslim majority, now it has reduced to about 20. Hindu majority areas were added to many Muslim majority areas, due to which the influence of Muslim votes got scattered.

• In Barpeta district, Muslim dominated 8 seats reduced to 6.
• The 15 seats of Barak Valley were reduced to 13.
• The seats of Goalpara West became reserved for ST, where earlier Muslim MLAs used to win.
• Muslim areas like Janiya, Baghbar and Chenga were merged with Hindu majority areas.
• Dhubri and Bilasipara, two Muslim dominated seats, were merged into one.

Experts are calling it ‘Gerrymandering’ (manipulation of seats). According to Al Jazeera’s report, Muslim votes were dispersed by combining 35 Muslim-dominated seats with Hindu-dominated areas. CPI(M) state secretary Suprakash Talukdar said, ‘Hindu areas were added to Muslim seats and Muslim voters were divided into Hindu-dominated areas.’

Question 3: What will be the effect of this change?
answer: Political expert Rashid Kidwai believes that the ‘political footprint’ of Muslim voters has reduced by about 30%. Earlier Muslims were decisive on 30-35 seats, now only on 20-22. Muslim representation was less than before, now it will decrease further. If Muslim MLAs are reduced to 22, their collective strength will further weaken.

For a long time, no strong, respected leader has emerged among the Muslims of Assam (especially those of Miyan or Bengali origin). AIUDF had leaders like Badruddin Ajmal till the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, but he lost his seat. Now there is neither any new face who can represent the entire community, nor are the parties supporting Muslim leaders.

Rashid Kidwai said, ‘There are 31 Muslim MLAs, but they are limited to their respective constituencies. No collective voice is raised on major issues like displacement, pushback and deletion of names from the voter list. Muslim MLAs of Congress also remain silent because they fear that speaking out will reduce votes. outcome? The Muslim community is stuck in ‘political no-man’s land’.

Question 4: What is BJP’s strategy and fear of Miyan Muslims?
answer: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has repeatedly said, ‘No need for Mia vote.’ That means BJP is openly opposing the Muslim population. CM Sarma also said, ‘Miya, harass Muslims in any way. If they are upset then they will leave Assam. In March 2026, in Barpeta, he had said, ‘Last time I broke some legs, this time I will break the spine.’

It is clear from this that this time BJP has not fielded a single Muslim candidate on 89 seats. BJP has put the burden of its ‘Muslim vote’ on its ally AGP. AGP has fielded 13 Muslim candidates on 26 seats. With this, BJP’s Hindutva image will remain intact. AGP spokesperson Kasturi Boruah said, ‘BJP is only against infiltrators and encroachment, not against Bengali Muslims.’

Whereas in 2021, Congress-AIUDF alliance had won 31 Muslim MLAs, but this time there is no alliance. Congress is dependent on Muslim votes but is silent on the issues. AIUDF is fighting alone, but its popularity has decreased. The chances of Muslim candidates are also decreasing due to division of opposition votes.

Question 5: So will the Muslim MLAs be wiped out from Assam?
answer: No, the card of Muslim MLAs from Assam will not be clean at all. Rashid Kidwai says, ‘In the 2026 elections, the number of Muslim MLAs is likely to reduce from 31 to around 20-23 or at most it can be 22. There is no possibility of it being completely eliminated (zero).

Congress leader and Lok Sabha MP Manickam Tagore has criticized Digvijay Singh’s statement about RSS organization. He even compared Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh with terrorist organization Al Qaeda. Manickam has called it a ‘famous self goal’.

Manickam Tagore said, ‘RSS is an organization which is built on hatred. It spreads hatred. There is nothing to be learned from hatred. Can you learn something from al-Qaeda? Al-Qaeda is an organization of hatred. He hates others. What is there to learn from that organization?’

What did Digvijay Singh say?

Digvijay Singh had shared a black and white photo from the 1990s. In this picture, young Narendra Modi is seen sitting on the ground near senior BJP leader LK Advani at an event in Gujarat. Along with this photo, he wrote, ‘People who once worked at the grassroots level can rise up in the organizational hierarchy and become Chief Ministers and eventually Prime Ministers.’

In this post Digvijay Singh called it the power of organization. He also tagged senior Congress leaders including Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge, MPs Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Jairam Ramesh, PM Modi and the official handle of the Congress in the post.

He wrote in his post, ‘I found this picture on Quora site. This is very impressive. How did grassroots volunteers of RSS and workers of Jan Sangh @BJP4India become the Chief Minister of the state and the Prime Minister of the country by sitting on the ground near the feet of the leaders? This is the strength of organization. Hail Siya Ram. @INCIndia @INCMP @kharge @RahulGandhi @priyankagandhi @Jairam_Ramesh @narendramodi.

There is an uproar over this post of Digvijay Singh. While BJP is cornering Congress and Rahul Gandhi after his post, Congress leaders are divided into two factions. On this, Manickam Tagore said that one should learn from an organization like Congress. This organization brought people together. Mahatma Gandhi transformed the Congress Party into a mass movement. Should organizations learn from organizations that spread hate?

Rahul Gandhi with the people: Tagore

He said, ‘Rahul Gandhi is completely with the people. Fighting for the people against the arbitrariness of the government. We should support them. Such a statement does not help Rahul ji’s struggle.

He said, ‘There is nothing to be learned from Godse’s organization except hatred. 140 year old Congress is still young. Fights hatred.

Digvijay Singh’s clarification after controversy

After the controversy over the statement increased, he also gave a clarification. On this he had said that he had praised the organizational structure of RSS, not its ideology. He remains an opponent of RSS and PM Modi.

BJP targeted

BJP also took a dig at Digvijay’s statement. Party national spokesperson CR Kesavan said that these comments have exposed the dictatorial and undemocratic work of the Congress leadership. Will Rahul Gandhi show courage? Will they react to the shocking truth bomb dropped by Digvijay Singh’s tweet? This has completely exposed how the first family of Congress runs the party in a dictatorial manner. How dictatorial and undemocratic is this Congress leadership?

The picture of Bihar elections has become clear. NDA is on the way to a record victory with 203 seats out of 243, while the Grand Alliance is getting only 35 seats. NDA is gaining more than 70 seats compared to 2020, the Grand Alliance is suffering the same loss. The worst situation is that of Congress, which is getting only 4 seats. Congress has once again lost the assembly elections. But this is not a new thing, in fact if we look at the figures from 2014 to 2025, then Congress must have got used to defeat.

So let us understand in ABP Explainer how many elections Congress lost in the last 11 years, in which states it lost and what is the trend of Congress defeat…

Question 1- How many Lok Sabha elections have been held in the country from 2014 to 2025?
answer- Lok Sabha elections have been held thrice in the last 11 years. Lok Sabha elections are held every 5 years and cover three complete cycles over a period of 11 years.

• First election- It took place in 2014 for the 16th Lok Sabha, when voting was completed in 9 phases from 7 April to 12 May. There were 8,251 candidates in the fray for a total of 543 seats. There was 66.4 percent voting, which was the highest figure till that time. In the results, BJP won 282 seats, which was more than the majority of 272 seats, while Congress got only 44 seats. Due to this election, Congress was out of power at the Centre.
• Second election- It took place in 2019 for the 17th Lok Sabha, when voting was completed in 7 phases from 11 April to 19 May. Here too 543 seats were at stake. 67.4 percent voting took place and BJP won 303 seats, while Congress got only 52 seats.
• Third election- For the 18th Lok Sabha in 2024. Elections were held in 7 phases from 19 April to 1 June. 65.79% voting took place and BJP got 240 seats, while NDA got a total of 293 seats. Narendra Modi became Prime Minister for the third time. Congress got 99 seats in this election, which was its best performance after 2014.

These elections made national politics BJP-centric, where the NDA led by Narendra Modi formed strong governments, but the balance was slightly upset by the unity of the opposition in 2024. Now the next elections will be held in 2029.

Question 2- How many assembly elections were held across India from 2014 to 2025 and what were the results?
answer- According to the Election Commission of India (ECI), 66 full state assembly elections were held across India from 2014 to 2025. The term ‘Assembly elections’ is primarily used for full state elections…

Question 3- So how many elections did Congress win and how many lost in the last 11 years?
answer- According to the Election Commission website, 66 full assembly elections were held in the last 11 years. Of these, Congress won a total of 8 elections and lost 58 elections. Defeat here means not getting majority or not leading the coalition. The average vote share was 19%, but seat conversion was less. The wave of BJP, strength of regional parties and weakness of the organization made Congress a losing party.

Voting is being held on Friday (October 24) for four Rajya Sabha seats in Jammu and Kashmir. National Conference (NC) is hopeful of a clean sweep with the support of 57 members including Congress, PDP, CPI and independents. At the same time, BJP with 28 members is hoping to win the fourth seat.

Let us tell you that the votes of Sheikh Khurshid of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIP) and jailed MLA Mehraj Malik of Aam Aadmi Party will decide the fourth seat, because both National Conference and BJP have 28-28 members.

What did MLA Sheikh Khurshid say
Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Surendra Chaudhary claims that Sajjad Lone will also vote for the National Conference candidate. He has claimed that Sajjad has changed his decision of not voting. Meanwhile, Awami Ittehad Party MLA Sheikh Khurshid has said that he will vote for NC. He says that voting is a compulsion to keep BJP away. This has made BJP’s victory on seat 4 more difficult.

Alliance of National Conference and Congress
The alliance of National Conference and Congress has majority in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, hence two seats are being considered safe for the alliance. A third notification was issued for the remaining two seats. According to the mathematics of the Assembly, it is certain that one of the two members from NC will be elected, but there is competition between BJP and NC for the other one.

Let us tell you that the Election Commission had issued 3 separate notifications for the selection of these four members. This means that each MLA will vote three times to elect Rajya Sabha member. One member will be elected as per the first notification. Another member will be elected under the second notification. There are 2 seats vacant in the 90-seat assembly of Jammu and Kashmir and the process of by-election is going on here. The NC-Congress alliance, which is in power in the state, has the support of 53 MLAs in the House. Of these, there are 41 MLAs from NC, 6 from Congress and one from CPI(M).
