India, Jan. 21 -- The Congress is once again facing desertions on the eve of the crucial 2024 Parliamentary polls, and it is evident that some of its leaders, sensing defeat, seem to be drifting towards the Sangh Parivar and its allies. The latest instance is that of Milind Deora, whose father

Murli Deora served as the party treasurer and held many positions due to his close proximity with the Gandhi family. Milind's declaration to leave the Congress and join the

Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) coincided with the commencement of Rahul Gandhi's Nyaya Yatra in Manipur on 14 January. He cited several reasons for his leaving the party,

the foremost being the inability of the leadership to deliver on its promises.
