Ashok Chavan most recent blow, disquiet fills in Congress over BJP's barrage, Rahul Yatra timing

 As the Lok Sabha races move close, the difficulties before the Congress and the INDIA coalition are mounting. The most recent mishap came Monday, with senior Maharashtra pioneer Ashok Chavan leaving the party - coming closely following the JD(U) and RLD leaving the INDIA alliance, the Trinamool Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) declaring that they would act like a lone ranger in West Bengal and Punjab; and seat-sharing discussions in Delhi going under extreme strain.

Chavan has turned into the 10th previous boss clergyman of the Congress to leave the party in the beyond 10 years, joining the positions of Amarinder Singh (Punjab), Ghulam Nabi Azad (Jammu and Kashmir), Vijay Bahuguna (Uttarakhand), the late Ajit Jogi (Chhattisgarh), S M Krishna (Karnataka), Narayan Rane (Maharashtra) and Giridhar Gamang (Odisha). (Gamang got back to the party as of late.)

Chavan's renunciation had been coming for some time, as he was known to pout. What numerous in the Congress communicated shock over was the absence of endeavors with respect to the central leadership to assuage him. Sources expressed that basically a month prior, AICC responsible for Maharashtra Ramesh Chennithala hailed to the initiative that a few chiefs against whom there are cases were "confronting pressure" to stop, and that the exercises of such pioneers ought to be observed.On Monday, as Chavan left the party, the Congress decided to lay the fault on his and the BJP's entryways, proposing that the bodies of evidence against him were the inspiring component.

Yet, in the background, the party is preparing for more difficulty, with trepidation overflowing that some MLAs near the ex-CM (sources put their number at about six) could stop and possibly ruin the Congress' possibilities winning a Rajya Sabha seat from the state in races in the not so distant future.Chennithala, who came to Delhi after the end of the week in Maharashtra, is hurrying back to Mumbai to meet senior pioneers. The party has started contacting all its MLAs. "How might we anticipate what they intend to do? All things considered, Chavan himself went to a gathering with Chennithala on Sunday," a senior chief said.

Authoritatively, Chennithala kept up with: "Chavan's leave won't influence the Congress.Previous Maharashtra CM Prithviraj Chavan said: "I don't figure anybody from the Congress will follow Ashok Chavan. The party is holding a gathering with all its MLAs in Mumbai on Tuesday to survey what is going on."

Congress pioneers likewise conceded in confidential that the BJP plan to "methodicallly" separate the INDIA alliance and power renunciations from the party was clear. Chavan's exit came days after two other Congress pioneers from Maharashtra - Baba Siddique and Milind Deora - quit, and the worry is that the BJP is prevailing with regards to conveying the view of an INDIA coalition destroyed and a Congress that is disconnected.

In what is viewed as a cognizant methodology, the BJP has restrained its assault against the INDIA coalition, which it once named 'Ghamandiya (presumptuous)' and 'INDI' union, and is zeroing in on the Congress.
