Lucknow. The condition of the Congress Party regarding the assembly elections in UP is not hidden from anyone. The performance of the party in every election has been worse than before. This time also the situation is looking similar because many winning leaders of the party have changed their sides. Nevertheless, in this election, the party is going to make such a courage which it has not done in the last twenty years. Congress party is going to fight after 20 years on all the seats of UP. Although in the 1985 elections, the party had fielded its candidates for the last time in all the seats in the state, but in the 2002 elections, it contested 402 seats out of a total of 403 seats.
happened in 1985 UP assembly elections That was the last election when the Congress party formed the government in UP. Then the party had contested a total of 425 seats. Due to being with Uttarakhand, there used to be 425 seats in UP before the year 2000. Out of these, Congress got 269 seats. That is, more than an absolute majority, but many factions were formed in the party. Narayan Dutt Tiwari was the last Chief Minister of Congress. From then till now the graph of the party kept falling. In the very next election, 1989, the Congress was reduced from 269 to 94 seats. 46 in 1991, reduced to 28 seats in 1993. In 1996, the party fought with the support of BSP. It got 33 seats. It got 25 seats in 2002 and only 22 seats in 2007.
Let us tell you that the Congress fought the 2012 elections together with the SP, but there was a historic defeat. Congress was reduced to only 7 seats. This time the situation should not get worse. These speculations are being made because many established leaders of Congress have left the party. Yet the Congress has not given up. The picture of Congress fighting under the leadership of Priyanka Gandhi is being presented. In this sequence, the party has decided to field its candidates in all 402 seats of the state. This will be the first time since 1985. Now the question arises that how many seats the party gets. Barring the 2017 elections, the Congress has been getting more than 20 seats in its worst condition. This time it is very difficult to say whether the party will be able to repeat the history of 2017.
