Congress’s losing streak continues in this round of elections. The GOP was defeated in Punjab, with the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party projected to win the state with an overwhelming majority.
Apart from the pain of losing Punjab, the Congress has also seen its chief minister, Charanjit Singh Channi and state boss Navjot Singh Sidhu lose elections.
In Uttar Pradesh, the Congress, despite Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s aggressive campaign, failed to make a mark, with the Bharatiya Janata Party retaining India’s most populous state in a bipolar contest with the Samajwadi Party.
In Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur too the Congress has been unable to unseat the ruling BJP.
