The Congress Party came to power again for the
third consecutive term. One of the reasons may be because the Opposition parties
failed to unite and gain confidence from the masses. To win in an election,
unity among members, well-planned agendas, clear vision for development,
strategies to conduct campaigns, etc., are utmost essential, but it has been
observed that instead of focussing on abilities, rectifying their follies after
two defeats and acquiring trust from the public, the parties tried to dethrone
the ruling party by making allegations. Moreover, endeavours for consolidating
their positions at the grassroots were also needed. AGP, which had ruled twice
before, faced defeat perhaps due to dearth of able leadership and disharmony
among themselves. On the other hand, negotiation for peace talks helped Congress
to some extent in springing back to power. Besides, being in power for a decade
also helped the ruling party in winning seats.
