After the Congress's poor performance in the Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan assembly elections, TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh blamed the Congress for its own defeat. In a social media post, he stated that the results represented the Congress's failure rather than a BJP victory. Ghosh asserted that the TMC can provide leadership in defeating the BJP nationally, seeming to position the party as an alternative to the declining Congress within the anti-BJP bloc. Meanwhile, Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad critiqued his party for abandoning its defense of minority rights. Despite leads in Telangana, the Congress faces pressure from allies after electoral debacles in Hindi heartland states. The TMC appears eager to claim pole position amid doubts about Congress's leadership of the anti-BJP alliance.
