EVEN AFTER EIGHT YEARS, CONGRESS BRAND OF SECULARISM HAS NO DEFINITE SHAPE
The AK Antony panel constituted by Sonia Gandhi to look into the 2014 Congress debacle blamed BJP’s Hindu communalism for the Congress defeat and concluded that Hindu votes mattered to win elections. Regardless, the Congress lost in 2019. Now, after eight and a half years, AK Antony has come out of semi-retirement and reiterated that along with Muslim votes, Hindu votes also mattered if the Congress wanted to “defeat Modi”.
