The Indian National Congress (INC) had high hopes of making a strong comeback in Bihar, contesting on 61 seats. However, the party's performance has fallen short of expectations, securing only six seats in the recent elections. This is one of their poorest showings in the state. In comparison, the Congress had won 19 seats in the 2020 state assembly elections and 27 in 2015. The party's performance has been declining in Bihar since the late 1970s and 1980s, when Jagannath Mishra was the most powerful leader. Since then, the party has struggled to regain its influence in the state. One of the key issues that affected the Congress's chances was Rahul Gandhi's 'vote chori' (vote theft) allegations against the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Gandhi had accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of vote theft under the instructions of the BJP-led NDA. However, his accusations failed to strike a chord with the public, and the party's performance in Bihar can be described as disastrous. The party's decline in Bihar has also been reflected in its inability to connect with the local people and its failure to present a strong leadership presence. The current scenario suggests that the Congress has become a minor player in the state, often finishing in third or fourth place. The party's poor performance in Bihar is likely to take a toll on its confidence and image. Follow live updates on the Bihar election results here.
