Why has the congress failed to garner votes in Punjab and Haryana?

Simple. It has lost its individual footing everywhere, with coalition manoa getting stronger each day..

It is no longer a sacrifice of ideas for any party to form a coalition.

And the electorate, dissatisfied with these 'secularists' that the congress calls itself, has been slowly and consciously switching to deliver a more religion-centric verdict than ever.

the question is, what else do we do if we do not gain by playing secular?

Naturally, hoist the 'dharma' or 'Hindutva' flag..
