Sonia Gandhi led alliance was routed in Bihar long before the Vidhan Sabha elections. Congress recorded its worst-ever performance in the last 10 years. The party got only four seats in the 243 member Vidhan Sabha even its Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief Mehboob Ali Qaiser and the Congress Legislature Party leader Prakash Ram lost. The party had 9 seats earlier. Qaiser was brought to appear to represent Muslims who constitute around 16 percent of the state's voting population.
Rahul Gandhi went to places like Samastipur, Saharsa, Katihar, Supaul, Araria, Sitamarhi, Mujfaffarpur, Begusarai, Bhagalpur, Bachcharwa, Munger, Kahalgaon, Barbigha, Hisua, Shekhpura, Buxar, Bhabua, Sasaram and Obra.
Sonia Gandhi addressed rallies in Kishanganj, Motihari, Begusarai, Bhagalpur, Buxar and Bhabua during her three visits to Bihar.
Even the former PCC chief Sadanand Singh, former PCC chiefs Ramjatan Sinha and Avdhesh Singh have lost. The reason for the rout of Congress lies in the answer to the question why Sonia led alliance at the centre has no Bihar Minister?
