The main problem with Congress is within the party and not the BJP. It has no leaders, only dynasts who are nominated. It has no inner-party democracy. AICC and CWC members are hand-picked cronies. No one is elected. It has lost touch with the Indian people and India’s reality. It is obsessed with Modi and thinks that by making false allegations it will regain its old glory. It should first listen to the ‘aspirational voices’ of the party members. Most answers will come from them.
In contrast, Modi has democratically overcome all inner-party oppositions from heavyweights like Advani, Yashwant Sinha, Murli Manohar Joshi. He has got re-elected with a larger mandate in 2019. He hasn’t lost any election since 2002. He as a Gujju won Varanasi Lok Sabha seat in UP twice. In contrast, Congress’s prime ministerial candidate himself lost the safest seat Amethi to another outsider.
Team Modi ( not Modi-Shah duo as labelled by this writer) is hardworking, proactive, visible and transparent. They are delivering on all fronts. The economy is better than most major economies of the world. No doubt it is suffering due to global slowdown that began before the pandemic and has worsened now.
Law enforcing agencies, CBI, ED Income Tax department all have to do their duties. The corruption mess and scams left behind by the UPA have to be sorted. Cases like the National Herald Air India and Aircel-Maxis need to be investigated and guilty brought to justice. Kalmadi, Gandhgis, Vadra, Chidambrams Tharoor need to be investigated. In fact, there are complaints that this government is too slow in bring these alleged crims to justice. People are getting impatient.
It must be pointed out here that this ‘Modi-Shah duo’ has passed all the Agni parikshah of SITs, CBI, ED, High Courts and the Supreme Court in all the charges from 2002 post-Godhara train burning riots to the charges of masterminding fake encounters where terrorists got killed. After coming to power all complaints made to the HCs and the SC on Rafale, Justice Loya, Ram Mandir, etc have been discarded by the judiciary. In fact, the Congress netas need to go through similar Agni pariksha starting from 1984 genocide of the Sikhs. Not a single neta except Sajjan Kumar has been convicted. Some netas who had Sikh blood on their hands were made ministers and chief ministers!
The worst thing about Congress under the Gandhis is that it has become anti-national. Their neta’s statements and actions are more loved by Pakistan, China and the separatists. To ‘reclaim’ any space it has lost it must reclaim its old nationalist badge.
Finally, most political space it has lost is to other regional parties and not to the BJP. It has lost its vote banks of minorities, Dalits, Adivasis, OBCs to other parties. These sections of the society don’t trust the party that is on the same page as Pakistan and doubts the actions of our armed forces.
An example: Alka Lamba of the Congress party recently lost the Chandni Chowk Delhi Assembly election seat to AAP. She polled mere 5% votes and lost her security deposit!
One thing is certain, in this age of social media and real-time availability of news hoodwinking of the public is not easy. All are well informed. And no one cares about those who call themselves ‘intellectuals’
Basically Panditji you are telling the writer very politely that he is barking up the wrong tree! The problem is not ‘Modi-Shah’ duo or ED CBI or IT raids hounding the Gandhi family. The problem you have rightly pointed out is that Sonia’s Congress has become anti-national. No nation can tolerate anti-national politicians and media persons.
Janta these days is well-informed. It can see through all the agenda-driven articles in any language Lies get exposed almost immediately. The noise on Rafale made by Congress during the 2019 elections backfired. “Chowkidar Chor Hai” jibe made lakhs of people calling themselves Chowkidars. And “Smriti Who?” defeated the Congress President in his home turf Amethi!
Congress doesn’t have to learn from the distant past of Indira Gandhi. It has to learn from its recent blunders. The blunders are repeated almost daily because the party refuses to learn from these. By attacking Modi daily and by making chummy writers write in some internet journals Congress can’t regain any of its lost space.
The writer is wasting his time.
A lot of words while ignoring the elephant in the room – the nehru family. If the Congress party can shed the nehru family, it will automatically become a party that responds to the aspirations of the people and be on its path regaining the lost ground. But nobody wants to talk about that. I would even argue that BJP would like the Nehru family at the helm of the Congress party as an insurance policy against its own failings.
The writer teaches at Ashoka University. Same place where other Modi haters PB Mehta and Amartya Sen wer associated. Ao even without reading the article it can be safely concluded that the author will criticise Modi and try to hang on to congress coattail. Mahesh Rangaran should know that in today’s times of SM people are much more well informed and anyone doing propaganda for congress can easily be called out. First and foremost is that today congress has lazy and incompetent top management team. And secondly the top family is too corrupt to be trusted by Indian’s. So as Yogendra Yadav said in his articles a few months back….”the congress should die” . Perhaps prophetic words from a man who was a part of Sonia’s inner circle NAC.
The Congress really has nothing left to offer and the Indian public knows that. It is a hollow & decrepit shell and its laughable “leaders” like Rahul G, Sonia G and Priyanka G are symbolic of everything that ails this failed party i.e corruption, incompetence & nepotism. Why is anyone surprised that Prime Minister Modi is respected by a very large proportion of Indians? They know that he is genuine and what he stands for – “India first, no compromise”.
