Hi, I'll take this review and will mainly focus on copyediting issues. It seems to be a well written article so there would be few points to make. ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 21:33, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Initial comments

 * The lead could be better organised; try splitting it into two paragraphs, with the second paragraph expanding more on the party's history?
 * Lead has been expanded.


 * The are fifteen references for Indian National Congress in the Candidates section! No problem of course, but it seems a lot
 * The sources talk about the seat distribution between INC and all its allies, so they should be included.


 * In the Advertisement section, I was thinking that the citations could be more spread out instead of all four citations at the end of the paragraph
 * Done


 * "Senior leaders of the party blamed Dentsu for its defeat in the elections" - why was this?
 * They needed someone to lay the blame on, so they chose Dentsu.

On hold
The prose of this article is very good, it is also well referenced and comprehensive. The only minor problems standing in the way now are a few referencing issues and the summary of the lead could definitely be improved (for an article this size the lead is disproportionate). If all of the above are addressed this article should have no problem passing the GAN, I'll put this on hold for the standard seven days. Thanks! ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 18:09, 23 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I hope my recent edits to the article have addressed the above issues. Further comments on the article are always welcome. Thanks for the review.--Skr15081997 (talk) 13:06, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
