A Huge Jolt To Congress
posted on Feb 25, 2014 @ 9:37AM
The demoralized Congress party is already facing a huge setback as BJP enjoys a majority of 119 in the house comprising of 182 members. Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi has a good grip on his state Gujarat although he is travelling across the country for election campaign. In the meanwhile, the number of resignations from Congress in the state seems to raising day by day.
Two MLAs Chhabilbhai Patel and Prabhubhai Vasava resigned from their post on Monday and submitted their resignation to Speaker Vijubhai Vala. Jasa Barad and Bavku Udhad are two other people who recently quit the Congress party to join BJP. Rajendrasinh Chavda also joined BJP last week. He is the man who won against former minister of state for home Praful Patel in 2012.
All those who have resigned are in complete support for Modi now and they mentioned that Modi is the 'only choice' for the country now. They feel only Modi could lead the country in the right way and towards betterment. Following this, Congress tally has now gone down to 51 from the 60 seats it occupied in 2012. It is believed that this number might fall even more as there are a number of Congress members in the verge on resigning to join Modi as the elections are not really far away. Seeing this disastrous condition of the party, the high command has sent general secretary Gurudas Kamat to Gujarat to stop these Congress members from resigning. Seems like the party is in a very bad shape in the state right now.
