South India, which used to maintain Congress’ losses within the Hindi belt since post-Mandal/Kamandal politics emerged, has turn into Congress-mukt with the autumn of the federal government within the Union Territory of Pondicherry.Since the Nineties, caste-based political events (often known as Madal events as a result of they emerged on the nationwide scene after the advice of the Mandal Commission was applied) emerged because the dominant political pressure in Hindi belt states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Haryana. BJP, which tried to counter the Mandal politics with Hindutva, additionally rose exponentially within the final three a long time and is the dominant pressure in Northern India as we speak.Congress, which was slowly worn out from the Hindi-belt, sustained on the energy of its presence in South India. Except for Tamil Nadu (the place it’s the junior companion of DMK), the grand previous occasion had a robust presence in all of the states and UTs – Kerala, Karnataka, united Andhra Pradesh, and Pondicherry.However, in the previous couple of years, the occasion declined in all these states.

Moreover, the humiliating efficiency of the occasion in Kerala native physique elections exhibits that it has no probability of coming again to energy within the 2021 meeting election both.In Karnataka, the occasion has been lowered to a beta model of its former self, with DK Shivakumar as the one man who has the braveness to combat. Even JD(S) has been in a position to put itself higher than Congress. In the 2019 normal election, Congress received only one seat out of 28 whereas JD(S) received 2, and the remaining went to the BJP. Given the recognition of Yediyurappa, who’s holding the fort on the age of 77, Congress has no probability even within the subsequent meeting election.In Telangana, Congress was anticipating to be a serious pressure as a result of it initiated the method of the separation of the state of Andhra Pradesh on the idea of the long-held demand by the individuals of the state. However, Okay. Chandrashekar Rao-led Telangana Rashtra Samiti emerged because the dominant pressure, taking all of the credit score for the creation of the separate state. Congress was enjoying the function of the opposition, and now BJP is sidelining it from even that place if Hyderabad municipal elections are any indication. So, the occasion has no future left in Telangana both.Andhra Pradesh, the state the place Congress dominated for greater than 55 years out of seven a long time since independence, is now turning out to be like Tamil Nadu, with Jaganmohan Reddy-led YSRCP and Chandrababu Naidu-led Telugu Desam Party on respective ends. Although BJP is making an attempt to make a dent in TDP’s voter base however has bought little success up to now and Congress has been fully worn out.Pondicherry, the UT which has been left as the only real bastion of the Congress occasion, has fallen only a few days after the go to of Rahul Gandhi, the chief who has completed extra harm to the occasion than the opposition. With the autumn of Congress authorities in Pondicherry, South India, which cushioned Congress’s diminishing presence in North India, has turn into Congress-mukt. And, this means that the grand previous occasion has only a few years left in Indian polity.
