Again you conveniently forgot to mention Rajasthan in ur so-called corrective post. You didn't mention it in your original post and now again you forgot Ashok Gehlot government. As far as UP, Gujarat, Bihar, West Bengal or Tamil Nadu is concerned, Congress lost its competitive edge a generation before Rahul Gandhi became Congress chief. You can say that Rahul Gandhi has not done anything to arrest the decline and I agree with that. But you must also recognise that he ran a very competitive campaign in Gujarat assembly elections where BJP could barely managed to escape from defeat.
