Congress is seeing some of its leaders engage in public spats. Ajay Maken criticised Milind Deora for praising AAP and asked him to “leave” Congress if he wanted.
Morarji Desai, India's first non-Congress PM, was the only Indian who won the Bharat Ratna & Pakistan's highest civilian award — the Nishan-e-Pakistan.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra called on Congress workers to boost the booth level organisation of the party, and warned them against carrying out anti-party activities.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Congress has long become a family party with scant concern for developing the same into a vibrant entity. New dynamic leadership & New relevant narrative is need of the time to stem the rot.
“Congress” and “Inner Democracy” are a contradiction in terms. It has been so ever since Indira Gandhi took over the old Congress and branded it as her own.
This is uncharted territory. The party – or at least some of its prominent members – is trying to cast off the yoke of the Gandhi family. Rahul Gandhi will not measure up in a million years. The family’s selfishness is impeding the natural ebb and flow of political fortune in a democracy. Beyond a point, the ruling party should not become complacent because of the inadequacy of the principal opposition party, its inability to put its house in order, to plan inter generational transition.
