Rahul Gandhi Criticized Amid Congress Setbacks and Opposition Alliance Challenges
Rahul Gandhi faces criticism for the Congress party's poor performance in recent state elections, with opposition allies citing unilateral actions and alliance fractures within the INDIA bloc. While some leaders and commentators call for Congress to rebuild independently or move beyond the Gandhi family, others highlight the opposition's internal divisions as a factor in electoral defeats. Union Minister Chirag Paswan attributes opposition losses to a lack of introspection and contrasts this with the NDA's electoral successes under Prime Minister Modi.
