The Congress, in its own wisdom, will possibly give the BJP a breather. The BJP should use this time to fix a long list of problems. It is in a shambles in UP. In MP, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh it will face anti-incumbency; these days state-level incumbency affects national elections. In Tamil Nadu, it doesn’t have an ally. In Maharashtra, its ally has no problem humiliating it and is known to admire Sharad Pawar’s NCP. And at the Centre, let us remind the party again, it doesn’t really have a leader.
