Event Summary

The India — Indian National Congress experienced a series of significant electoral defeats in 2025, including a complete collapse in the India — Delhi and India — Bihar Assembly elections, following poor performances in Maharashtra and Haryana in late 2024. This downturn, which occurred after a brief resurgence in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, has exposed deep strategic and ideological crises within the party, leading to internal dissent. Experts like Yogesh Kamdar and Devendra Pincha attribute these failures to the India — Indian National Congress's inability to adapt, a lack of charismatic leadership, and organizational weaknesses. The India — Bharatiya Janata Party successfully outmaneuvered the India — Indian National Congress in these elections, securing comfortable majorities. Additionally, internal conflicts within the India — Indian National Congress were highlighted by events such as Shashi Tharoor's praise for PM Modi, which drew rebuke from India — Indian National Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, and a power tussle between India — Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM D. K. Shivakumar. These events underscore the challenges facing the India — Indian National Congress as it looks towards future elections in 2026.
