In the recent Lok Sabha elections, the opposition Congress party has shown significant improvement, suggesting a possible resurgence in Indian politics. The results, announced by the country's election commission, indicate a stronger position for Congress than in previous years.

BJP's NDA Alliance: 293 seats, Opposition Alliance: 233 seats, BJP Alone: 240 seats, Congress: 99 seats

Congress is on the verge of reaching 100 seats with the support of MP Vishal Patil, who won the Sangli seat in Maharashtra as an independent candidate.

Vishal Patil, whose grandfather Vasantada Patil was a former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, initially sought a Congress ticket but ran independently due to alliance agreements. After his victory, he expressed support for Congress and has met with party leaders Sonia and Rahul Gandhi. Pending approval from the Lok Sabha Secretariat, Patil may soon be recognized as a Congress MP.

This electoral performance marks a potential turning point for Congress, positioning it to play a more active role in national politics. The increase in seats reflects growing support and could influence future political dynamics in India.

The Congress party's improved performance in the Lok Sabha elections signifies a crucial moment for the party, enhancing its prospects for influence and participation in the country's political landscape.
