Is UPA breaking up?

Is UPA breaking up?

The cracks in UPA were clearly visible when Congress lost the Delhi Assembly elections in December 2013. At that moment Rahul Gandhi stated that Congress will take the required steps to revitalize the party. Perhaps the idea was clear to take the allies together as alone Congress didn’t had the leadership to win the elections. However, nothing worked and UPA lost the elections. The recent controversial statements made by Milind Deora and other party members on Team Rahul are indicating the problems. Are the statements clear indications that UPA has lost its grounds?

Yes

• The seats won by the Congress are a proof of what has happened within the UPA party as a whole. The problems were very much visible from the assembly elections time.

• UPA Is witnessing a lost communication strategy internally and that is why it has lost outside. The discontent is now coming up openly after the defeat.

• Milind Deora and other party member’s statements is the starting point of strong blame games from the younger generation of the party.

• Key allies in focus, like NC and NCP are finding ways to part out from the party. The statements mentioning that Gujarat 2002 riots is a forgotten thing is showing support for BJP.

• The dissatisfaction is growing more day by day as the Congress MPs cannot reach Rahul Gandhi as per the need of time.

• ADUF is Assam is now supporting the Modi government.

No

• Defeat brings its own share of criticisms and arguments within the party that gets settled with time.

• UPA is on the verge of alignment and realignment of party that is a must after just a great setback.

• Milind Deora has always been a candid person who criticized the party for 26/11 attack. Being open on his views doesn’t make him against his party.

• The statements and the blame game can be a part of the orchestrating done by Rahul Gandhi after elections.

• Coming to the statements of NCP leader Praful Patel on Narendra Modi and Gujarat riots, the party just wants to accept the verdict of court.

Conclusion

It is said that smoke comes out only when there is a fire. The internal crisis within the UPA cannot stay hidden for long. Moreover, the great setback is forcing the young leaders to take a stand as they cannot sacrifice their future under the weak leadership. UPA seriously needs to find out the ways to deal with the internal crisis existing within the party.
