As Bihar concludes its two-phase elections, all attention is on the results, which could prove to be a defining moment for Rahul Gandhi. The Congress leader, striving to rebuild his party’s relevance, faces a significant test as early trends and surveys indicate a clear advantage for the ruling NDA alliance.
If these predictions hold, it would mark another setback for Rahul Gandhi and the Congress-led INDIA bloc. Despite his high-profile Bharat Jodo Yatra and repeated efforts to connect with voters as a people’s leader, the ground reality in Bihar seems to tell a different story.
Rahul has campaigned vigorously across the state, raising strong allegations against the Election Commission and accusing the BJP of “vote theft”. However, these messages appear to have failed to resonate with voters, many of whom are leaning toward the NDA due to leadership credibility and local promises.
The Bihar verdict carries implications far beyond a single state. A poor performance could further weaken Congress’ already fragile position within the INDIA alliance, prompting regional partners like RJD, Trinamool Congress, and AAP to reconsider their collaboration and possibly go solo in their respective states.
Rahul Gandhi’s leadership has already faced scrutiny, with the party suffering losses in multiple states, except for isolated wins in Karnataka and Telangana, which were largely influenced by regional factors. A defeat in Bihar could intensify doubts about his ability to challenge Prime Minister Modi on a national level.
For Rahul Gandhi, the Bihar election is more than just another contest — it is a do-or-die moment that could determine his political future and the length of his tenure as the face of a struggling Congress party.
