Polls 2019  

Just one month before the Lok Sabha elections 2019, Urmila Matondkar had hurt the sentiments of Hindus as she said Hinduism is the most violent religion 

Though Rahul Gandhi resigned by taking all the blame for the humiliating failure in the Lok Sabha polls 2019, he has blamed the other seniors in the party by saying “I stood completely alone” in his resignation letter. 

As nearly 145 office bearers of the Congress have put in their papers, there is turbulence in the party. The resignations are being seen as an act of open rebellion against veterans, who, the young guard feel, don’t have the intellectual paraphernalia to take the party forward.

The first three or four early exit polls show a clear majority for the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance

Before the Congress president Rahul Gandhi blamed the poll body, it was the Trinamool Congress who did so. As if the two weren't enough, now former finance minister P Chidambaram has joined the 'blame EC' bandwagon
