The results of the Assembly elections in Maharashtra and Haryana have once again proved that people are aspiring for change. After the Lok Sabha election, this is another jolt to the Congress which was in power in the two States. It’s high time the Congress introspects over its alliances and how it is dealing with issues such as corruption or the public outcry over misgovernance. It also needs to make substantial changes in its political structure in a way that accommodates the sentiments of its supporters and grassroots workers.
Finally, it is evident that the Modi wave, which began before the general election, has not faded. Therefore, the Congress needs to strategise and make wise decisions before it is reduced to becoming a regional party. Although the results show that it is not an absolute majority for any single party, for the BJP, this victory is overwhelming and very promising which it should welcome with humility and respect.
