With the Congress retaining its three seats and succeeding in embarrassing the BJP by getting its legislator cross vote in the Rajya Sabha elections, it seems to have sent a message that despite its internal troubles, the party stood united.
Against the narrative
Over the last few months, reports of disgruntlement among legislators over lack of fund allocation for constituencies and delay in appointments to boards and corporations had set the narrative of the party being a “divided house.” While the Opposition had also harped on the lack of unity and tried to approach legislators, party sources believe that the message of unity has been “loud and clear” with the results.
