Congress' Bihar review flags deep flaws, but no course correction in sight

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : In Madhya Pradesh in 2023, the Congress ran an aggressive "anti-Adani, anti-corruption" campaign at the central level, even as the BJP successfully localised its pitch around welfare and caste groups, resulting in a sweep where the Congress could secure only 66 seats out of 230 despite pre-poll surveys suggesting a neck-and-neck race.
40% : Earlier, in the 2021 West Bengal election, the Congress leadership persisted with an anti-CAA, anti-Modi campaign that failed to cut any ice with voters transfixed by the TMC-BJP binary.
39% : In West Bengal, for instance, the Congress is again focusing on national issues at a time when the battle is equally poised to be centred around identity politics, welfare delivery and corruption allegations.
