Can Congress stop BJP from winning all 25 Lok Sabha seats in Rajasthan for third time — SWOT analysis
For the last 10 years, the people of Rajasthan have voted for only the Bharatiya Janata Party from all the 25 Lok Sabha seats. The state has a distinction of not letting the incumbent return to power in the state.

The saffron party also won the recently concluded Assembly polls in the state. The Congress too has a history of doing well in the state elections, winning alternate polls in recent decades.
The state will vote in two phases - April 19 and April 26 — in the upcoming Lok Sabha election. Here's an analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of BJP and Congress.
BJP
Strengths
  • PM Modi's popularity is still high in the state and his frequent visits gives an edge to the BJP over the Opposition.
  • Strong organisational network down to the booth level
    • Weakness
    • Several leaders are unhappy over the denial of tickets to MLAs. Churu MP Rahul Kaswan left the BJP and joined the Congress.
      • Opportunities
      • The recent victory in state polls is keeping the spirits of BJP leaders and workers high. The party aims to cash in on the momentum gained by the win.
      • It hopes to woo young voters after the new state government formed an SIT and made arrests in paper leak cases.
      • The BJP claims to have made progress on the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project as well.
        • Threat
        • A section of farmers in northern Rajasthan has backed protests by Punjab farmers.
          • Congress
          Strengths
          • Former chief minister Ashok Gehlot's political acumen will come in useful.
          • Former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot's popularity with the youth and the Gurjar community is an asset
            • Weaknesses
            • The constant fight between Gehlot and Pilot over power has sapped the party's strength.
            • The party's organisational structure and booth management could not match BJP's.
              • Opportunities
              • The Congress will try to cash in on dissatisfaction in the Gurjar community, which feels it has not got the representation it deserved in the state's new BJP government
              • Regional parties like Rashtriya Loktantrik Party and Bharat Adivasi Party could form an alliance with the Congress
                • Threats
                • The party finds it hard to counter BJP allegations over minority appeasement' and corruption during the Congress regime in the state.
