For INC, couple of seats in Punjab and Kerala. Around 4-5 seats in Maharashtra and Telangana. Maybe one or two in Tamilnadu.
.
Zero seats in UP, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra, Gujarat, Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Kashmir, Hariyana, Delhi, North East.
.
So around a dozen seats in 2024 Parliamentary Election, from 543 Parliamentary seats.
.
Bad for Indian democracy I guess. Local Gunda party from Bengal - TMC may have higher number than INC.
.
The solution is to only allow national parties and prevent regional parties (all essentially family mafiaso) from contesting Parliamentary Elections.
.
National politics is beyond the psychology of all regional parties in any case. TMC, JU, DMK, BJD, Akalidal etc.
.
Then it would be a direct contest between INC and BJP. So, even with 400 seats for BJP, INC will be closed to 150. So, a slight miscalculation by the incumbent will change the government.
.
What is a national party? Significant voters base, say at least 20% in two or more states 😉 - from state assembly elections. So useless Independent candidates are out of Parliamentary elections by default.
