About 8.3 crores new voter voted in the last Lok Sabha elections, myself being one among them. So, as far as I learnt and know about the recent past of the Congress party, I would say it would be hard.. very hard for resuscitating the party once again considering Rahul Gandhi’s resignation as well.
Rahul Gandhi has been the President of the party since quite some years, but now he finally decided to step down after his resignation letter was turned down by the working committee some months back.
The party has just lost its charms. With all those allegations of scam on several top class leaders of the party, and less or no improvement in the grass root level workers, have even deteriorated the places which were known to be the stronghold of Congress. The recent defeat of Rahul Gandhi in the hands of Smriti Irani indicates the same. There were several states where congress’s list remained null in the elections for Lok Sabha 2019.
On the other hand, what I have seen in the case of BJP is that they keep their grass root level workers happy and work towards improving the party’s situation from that very level. This helped them gain much more this time as compared to what they gained in the 2014 general elections.
Moreover, the reach of the government policies, the DBT to the beneficiaries etc. are all visible and transparent these days and this has helped BJP build a strong voter’s base in every part of the country which was thoroughly missing in the days of UPA government in the recent past.
The reach of electricity has increased manifolds and providing proper sanitation facilities to each and every needy household of the nation has help them in gaining the grounds.
With the increasing number of direct interaction programmes like Mann ki Baat and the NaMo app has helped the voice of common citizens reach everyone’s ears. Pushing towards rapid digitization of government services consequently decreasing the role of middlemen have played an important role in shifting the mindset of the younger generation.

The image of India in front of the world has changed dramatically since last some years. With PM Narendra Modi receiving several prestigious honors internationally, and consequent spending of the money in well being of the nation has helped the BJP in regaining trust of voters.
All the aforesaid things were severely lacking in the UPA government and since the nation has seen a larger paradigm shift in last some years, resignation of Rahul Gandhi will not be of much help in the present scenerio.
