		The Singhbhum District congress committee was kept under the Utkal Pradesh congress since its inception in the early twenties when the congress correcting its earlier mistake favoured the formation of linguistic states and constituted its provinical committees on the basis of language.
		The Utkal Pradesh congress committee failed, to take advantage of this favourable situation because it did not organise the tribals and other linguistic groups against the feudal order that was working as an agent of British imperialism.
		While the central congress government refused to fulfill the justified demand of the people of Orissa, a powerful section of the state leadership in their bid to promote their career betrayed the people of the state.

		The decline of the Congress Party is not simply evident in the electoral returns, but more importantly, in the way the party and its leaders perceive their role in the political process.
		The Congress Party’s position on ethnic issues in the Uttaranchal region in U.P. is different from its stand in the rest of the state.
		The way the Congress Party was defeated in 1977, 1989 and 1996 or the opposition parties in 1980 and 1991, one has to admit an element of sophistication in the voting strategies of the Indian citizens.

		The Congress has not even fielded a candidate here as no one in the party agreed to take on Naveen Patnaik, who despite his admitted failure to learn Oriya intwo-and-a-half years and an unimpressive stint as Union minister has gone on to consolidate his position, thanks to the pro-Vajpayee mood in the state.
		How can the Congress leadership expect its workers to campaign for the CPI which till recently was the main rival of the party in many Assembly segments, he wondered.
		It would be very difficult for the Congress to face the people and ask them to defeat the CPI when they are supporting the party in the Lok Sabha election.
