New Delhi: As polls indicate that the BJP is on track to reclaim all four states it previously ruled and the Congress is on the verge of losing Punjab, the focus has shifted to the leadership and the team that worked behind the scenes, whether for Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Fingers will be pointed at Rahul and Priyanka's teams and leadership.

K.C. Venugopal, Randeep Surjewala, and the state in-charges of Rahul Gandhi were unable to deliver the states that went to polls. In Uttarakhand, where it was customary to change government every five years, the Congress was unable to repeat the feat. Devendra Yadav, the state's in-charge, initially struggled to manage the factions and later dispatched senior leaders, but valuable time was lost in the process. The party appeared to be divided into two factions, each of which was unwilling to cooperate.

In Goa, the trio of State in-charges namely Dinesh Gundu Rao, Girish Chodankar (the state President), and Digambar Kamat (the former Chief Minister, ignored state leaders like Luizinho Falerio, who left to join Trinamool, and leaders like Francisco Sardinha, who were sidelined, and even senior observer P. Chidambaram couldn't pick the right candidates.

In Punjab, Rahul and Priyanka's operation did not provide the intended results, and the party's last-minute bet of declaring Charanjit Singh Channi a Scheduled Caste Chief Minister did not pay off, and the AAP is on the verge of a landslide victory. By neglecting party MPs during this campaign, Ajay Maken and Harish Chaudhary have only exacerbated the crisis in the party, which appears to have backfired.
