Maharashtra State ruled by the Congress-led alliance since 1999 having NCP as its alliance partner, Congress spokesman Mr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi while talking to a news channel said on Monday that the alliance is intact, but though drought and price rise should have been the main worries for the combine.B.J.P. and Shiv Sena combine will be their opposition alliance in Maharashtra.In Haryana, the Congress came to power in 2005 after nine years, and Indian National Congress have advantage perhaps that’s why they have gone months before in the assembly election which is demoralised and divided Opposition appears unlikely to pose a stiff challenge. What’s more, the snapping of ties between the BJP and former chief minister Mr.O.P. Chautala’s Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) recently added to the troubles of the Opposition.Arunachal Pradesh will have symbolic importance at the national level, since it may add to the Congress score or losing tally, depending on the outcome of results. As Indian National Congress in the power in all the three states and it is appearing they have edge over opposition parties because of scattered, confused and weak opposition ,but they have factor which can become their woes in the election they are drought, rising prices of all the essential commodities which have make the budget of common people haywire and still prices’ are not under control as efforts are not showing any positive results which can lead to anti incumbency factor on the performance of Indian National Congress.
