Congress pitches its hopes on non-Congress leaders

New Delhi: The Congress will certainly have a role to play in Opposition unity. Therefore Jairam Ramesh need not say again and again that without Congress there will be no Opposition unity or after Bharat Jodo Yatra Congress will become so strong that no one will be able to ignore it. These things are have no standing because regional parties have no conflict with the Congress in most states. Where there is conflict, however strong the Congress becomes, coordination will be difficult. So, when the time comes, the unity of the Opposition will be forged and Congress will also have a role in it. Congress will get the biggest help in this work from the leaders of Bihar. Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar will be the most helpful for the Congress in this work. Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar had met Sonia Gandhi last Sunday. Before that, Nitish’s deputy and Lalu’s son Tejashwi Yadav (Bihar’s deputy CM) had met Sonia Gandhi in Delhi. Nitish Kumar was in Delhi for several days and met Opposition leaders but then Sonia Gandhi was abroad. That’s why Nitish Kumar could not meet Sonia Gandhi. However, the recent meeting of Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar with Sonia Gandhi it would not make any difference. Both these leaders will make room for the Congress in the Opposition alliance.

In Bihar and Jharkhand, although the Congress is part of the alliance, Lalu and Nitish will make such an effort in other states as well. Both of them can play a role in getting the Congress included in the socialist camp. The most interesting case is of Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana and Haryana. With Akhilesh Yadav, HD Kumaraswamy, K Chandrasekhar Rao and Omprakash Chautala, Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar can do the work of building the harmony of the Congress. This will have a big impact on the electoral prospects.
