Will Hooda announce retirement?

In Haryana, stars of Congress party are not favourable. After the humiliating defeat in the Assembly elections, the party was wiped out in the recently held Urban elections too. And they heavily banked on the senior leader Bhupendra Hooda in both the polls. Sources said that after two back-to-back humiliating defeats, Hooda may announce retirement from active politics.

Why are Congress allegations not clicking among voters?

Since 2016 Congress party has been raising the issues of unemployment, inflation, poor implementation of GST, demonetisation, corruption, caste census and breaking of reservation sealing of 50% if the party comes to power. The party also offered various guarantees during the election time. And during the said period, the party lost assembly elections in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, MP and the Lok Sabha polls. Presently Congress has the govt in three states- Himachal, Telangana and Karnataka. In Jharkhand and Tamil Nadu , the party is in power as a junior partner. According to experts, Congress leaders are raising old and almost dead issues and that is the reason voters have no time to listen to these issues. It also shows that the party has no strategy to attack the ruling dispensation.
