Under the leadership of Edappadi K Palaniswami, the party has shown that it is not completely destroyed by saving its core votebase.

The victory in Kerala and some signs of strength in Assam have given some breathing space to the Congress, due to which it can strengthen its role in the opposition.

Big regional leaders like Mamata Banerjee and MK Stalin seem to be weakening, which can have a big impact on national politics.
