In the existing scenario right now, there is no place for Congress. May be true that Congress is ruling some some states . It is not enough to be the ruling Party in some States.

What is needed is a strong party that is capable of ruling the entire County ., which only BJP can do BJP  has been accepted by majority of the People in the Country.

 Above all Congress has to remember, that one of the main reason for their humiliating defeats is , that People were vexed with this party, that has given only a bad governance filled with Scams.

While BJP is a growing party Congress is a maturity/declining stage but that does not mean it is down and out.

When even a miniscule party like JDS has a presence , how can anyone with sensibility call Congress a dead party since it is ruling 4 or 5 states? One has to be realistic while making statements , and that's precisely why no one takes your posts seriously because they are not reliable ..

Just wait and watch, Priyanka will bring it back on top of the table once again...

I am presuming that you are joking because what exactly can she do to bring the party on top of the table once again other than dress like Indira Gandhi ? 

Nowadays, if a party has to be successful, it needs a 'face'. A resolute leader with a strong personality and good oratory skills can take his/her party to new heights. Narendra Modi happens to be that person for BJP. But whom does Congress have? (Please don't say Rahul Gandhi)

Every party or entity has a life span and the Congress party is now in the eclipse mode.  It can rise up only under a new Avatar.

We can write anything. But the fact is the people for decades voted in the Congress party. Who will explain that? Even now with all this talk of the demise of the party it won in Punjab and was the biggest party in Goa. Hard facts but cannot be brushed under the carpet.

That is the drawback of the Congress party, not that there are no leaders but they have not been allowed to grow . Most of them now seem like puppets .

I agree with that , it is foolish to write off any party when it has a considerable presence..

Congress used to have a considerable presence but is already on its way down fast. In spite of the tremendous defeat, they refuse to change their dynastic mindset. We saw that happen in Goa, congress leaders in Goa could easily have formed a government had they taken fast and quick decision. Instead they had to wait cooling their heels while waiting for word from the 'High Command' BJP did not wait but took lightning quick decisions, brought back Manohar Parrikar and formed the government. Many say this was unethical, but what people also wanted was to see a government that could take quick decisions on its own rather than keep cooling their heels for decisions from HIgh Command in Delhi which was nowhere to be found on time! This proves that congress has lost the ability to function efficiently!

I agree with that wholeheartedly .. all that is left is arrogance now. Although the decline is apparent , some pockets and people in India still have the mindset that Congress being the oldest party has the right to rule ..As long as that feudal mindset prevails they will get votes and a few seats here and there to make enough noise in both the houses and thereby block the functioning in the name of democracy!
