Challenges faced by the Indian National Congress in Mandi( Himachal Pradesh )
The Indian National Congress faced several challenges in the Mandi Lok Sabha constituency in Himachal Pradesh during the 2024 Indian general election. Some of these challenges included:
- Surprise BJP Candidate: The BJP’s decision to field Kangana Ranaut, a Bollywood actress from Mandi, was seen as a surprise and a challenge for the Congress. Kangana’s popularity and the media attention surrounding her candidacy added to the complexity of the election.
- Local Issues: The Congress faced challenges in addressing local issues that were critical to the voters in Mandi. These issues included flood relief, the Agnipath scheme, and the plight of apple growers, which were seen as more pressing concerns than nationalistic themes.
- Voter Dissatisfaction: There was significant voter dissatisfaction with the BJP government at the Centre, particularly regarding its response to the 2023 floods and implementing the Old Pension Scheme. This dissatisfaction could have potentially benefited the Congress.
- Competition from Other Parties: The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) was also contesting all four Lok Sabha seats in Himachal Pradesh, which could have split the anti-BJP vote and made it harder for the Congress to win.
- Historical Significance: Mandi has traditionally been a stronghold of the Congress, and the party faced pressure to maintain its dominance in the constituency. This added to the challenge of winning the seat.
- Kangana’s Popularity: Kangana Ranaut’s popularity and the media attention surrounding her candidacy made her a formidable opponent for the Congress. Her ability to connect with voters and her perceived authenticity could have been a challenge for the Congress candidate, Vikramaditya Singh.
