New Delhi:
A jubilant Prime Minister Narendra Modi, celebrating his victory in the Bharatiya Janata party in the 2025 Delhi elections, started a congress already mistreated in a victory speech on Saturday night, accusing his rival of “stealing” agendas and voters of their allies and “finishing ((finishing ((finishing ((finishing (finishing ((finishing (finishing (finishing (finishing ((finishing (finishing (finish (finish (finishing (they), one by one”.
In a long speech at the headquarters of the city of BJP, he launched a fierce attack, calling Congress a “parasite party” and mocking for not winning a single seat in six consecutive elections of Delhi; The party has won zero seats in each of the last three state and federal elections of the city.
“I said before … Congress is a parasite party. They carry other games with them every time they drown. Their method is unique … they steal their agendas and then attack their voters. In Uttar Pradesh, they are pointing to him Samajwadi and voters of the Bahujan Samaj party, “he said.
“They are doing the same in Tamil Nadu (where the ruling DMK is an ally) and Bengala and Jammu and Kashmir. It is clear … who has the hands of Congress, its purpose is inevitable.”

“Those who hold the hands of Congress are being destroyed … because it is not the same Congress that was there before independence … today is doing a ‘urban naxal’ policy. They want to bring anarchy … and AAP -Da (The pejorative term of the BJP for the AAP) was trying to do the same. “
The side of the Prime Minister in Congress occurs in the midst of increasing uncertainty about the opposition block of India led by the party. Formed in June 2023 to defeat BJP in state and federal elections, the group has sunk and flattered to impress in the majority of the 14 main surveys since then; The exception, perhaps, was Lok Sabha’s choice in April-June last year, in which the BJP remained in <300 seats.
And Congress has been criticized for not agreed to share seats with smaller members in India, including AAP. The two games were expected to join the choice of Delhi Lok Sabha (which ended in a clean BJP sweep) would return to work for the Harkana survey last year.

That, however, did not happen after the State Congress unit simply refused to play ball. Similarly, the expectations of an AAP Congress agreement before Delhi’s elections also vanished.

In each case, AAP’s voting actions and the combined Congress would have been more than that won by the BJP. It is not clear if that would have translated into more votes, but it indicates that there is still space for a coalition front that is not BJP, provided it works enough to dispute an choice.

A functional opposition front may still not be enough to defeat Modi and the formidable machinery of his BJP election, but, at least, he will make the elections fight more closely.
