Back in June, the party managed to win more seats than it did in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections taken together, and reduce the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to its lowest tally since 2014 -- never mind that the national political hegemon still ended up with more seats on its own than all constituents of the Congress-led INDIA bloc.
The loss in the Haryana elections (which everyone expected it to win), and poor performance in J&K, took away some of the sheen of its Lok Sabha performance. Now, its drubbing in Maharashtra has, apart from reacquainting the party with its old bugbear -- it loses head-to-head contests to the BJP -- also raised questions about its standing to head the national opposition alliance. Of the 101 seats the party contested in Maharashtra, it won 16, a strike rate of a mere 15.8%.
