The rebellion of Bhupinder Singh Hooda, a Congressman for five decades, isn’t just about his ambitions. It signals Nehru-Gandhi family’s refusal to change its authoritarian ways marked by disdain for mass leaders and promotion of fawners. India’s grand old party is unravelling. The desperately needed reboot is nowhere in sight.

CM Hooda served two terms, almost coterminous with UPA. Mobilised immense resources for the party, with some expressing fears if Haryana would have any agricultural land left. Discarding such men of substance, in favour of backroom boys, will move the Congress to further irrelevance. Not a perfect analogy, but consider how the wealthy Walton family has retained its shareholding in WalMart, entrusting management to professionals who run the company profitably.
