Congress's mission was hanging before Rahul started. The ink of the Congress Working Committee's decision to make Rahul a PM candidate was not too dry that his closest leaders changed the course of decision. He says that Congress can support anyone for PM, provided it is not of BJP and RSS. In the PM race, the discussions started by Mamata Banerjee and Mayawati as Rahul's withdrawal started.
Actually, after the CWC meeting on Sunday, after the statement of Randeep Singh Surjewala, Rahul's candidature was stamped in which he said that Rahul Gandhi would be the face if the Congress emerged as the biggest party.
After this, the reactions of the present and potential allies of Congress came to light. Janata Dal Secular leader HD Deve Gowda was the only leader who supported Rahul's claim. While the NCP, Trinamool Congress and even RJD said that after the conclusion of the results the PM was fixed.
This was a shock for Rahul. It was also a message that Congress wants to make 2019 Rahul vs. Modi while in this fight Rahul will not be able to stand up to Modi. The Congress itself has introduced its fallen morale by referring to its performance in 145 seats in 2004. Just as Chidambaram said that the mission 300 will be completed by bringing 150 seats of Congress and 150 seats of its allies and also the weak condition of the Congress. That is why Congress is now saying that its fight is not from any person but from ideology and will do anything to remove BJP. That is what he did in Karnataka. Where to remove the BJP, the third party leader was made the chief minister.
That is why names of Mamta Banerjee and Mayawati are being taken. Both are experienced leaders. Mayawati is a Dalit and a woman leader. To date, no Dalit PM has been formed. In such a situation, Congress can move a bigger Dalit card ahead of its name. But Mayawati has said that she will compromise with Congress only when honorable seats are available.
On the other hand, voices are rising within the Congress in opposition to the Trinamool Congress's agreement.
