At a press briefing, party general secretary K.C. Venugopal says CWC took note of the letter written by certain Congress leaders, demanding ‘full-time and effective leadership’.
The media portrays the Gandhi family as one unit, but the great unknown in the Congress crisis may well be the political relationship between mother, son and daughter.
Interim Congress president Sonia Gandhi constitutes a key party committee headed by Dr Manmohan Singh and including Rahul Gandhi and his close aides, leaving out party veterans.
At CWC meeting, Rahul Gandhi said Congress opposed the manner in which the government went ahead with its decision on Article 370 against all constitutional norms.
The matter of Rahul Gandhi’s successor was brought up at a general secretaries’ meeting. Leaders said it was urgent because of upcoming state elections.
A host of senior Congress leaders, including former PM Manmohan Singh, P. Chidambaram, Shashi Tharoor, were present at the party headquarters to wish Rahul Gandhi.
With the US-India trade deal yet to get done, rupee depreciation may be helping to mitigate India’s loss of competitiveness. The other problem is extreme despondence among overseas equity investors.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
All those right thinking Congressmen must split the party and come out and find a new Party minus Mother and Son. The Daughter can be included as she understands the problem Congress is in. If the funds are not shared they must approach the Court. The Congress under Sonia and the immature Rahul will go downhill only.
I wonder how much money this family has looted from India’s poorest? I wonder too how many corrupt backhanders they have received over the years from corporations. It would be most interesting to see their bank accounts and for the to justify their vast wealth in relation to,their salaries as politicians. They won’t let go of their power because they know only too well that they will be found out.
The Dynasty has a coin which has same image on both sides. Sonia and Co know that, when the public will loose faith in BJP and get dissatisfied with Modi, they will vote against BJP, which is possible in next General Elections. The state rulers of BJP run states are donkeys, especially of Haryana. Whom the people will vote, certainly the Congress, which is the only all India party. Hence whoever runs the party is irrelevant, because in next General Elections, because of the discredited BJP, TINA factor will favor Congress.
The fact that Shri Kapil Sibal put out his tweet against Shri Rahul Gandhi, which he later withdrew, means that he genuinely believed that the middle aged dynast is fully capable of insinuating that he is working at the behest of BJP. What does this tell us about how deep is the divide in the party?
The Congress and the First Family might be incompetent but they are not useless. They are making us laugh which is a big achievement considering the serious situation the world is in.
Finally, what was expected is out. It was evident, that the dynasty is not going to relinquish the control of the party with billions of dollars assets. The letter writers misread the inertia of the family and thought it to be an opportunity to revive the party. But by branding these senior leaders of the party as BJP agents, Rahul has exposed his immaturity.. Now as was expected, they will assemble to enjoy the free feast to elect the president and as expected Sonia or some other of the family will be elected unanimously.
Gandhi’s have not sacrificed anything for this country people of India have sacrificed themselves for this country Gandhi’s should not take any credit for this.
Congress can yet be THAT party (with or without Gandhis) , possibly the only one at National level, to challenge the BJP if it promotes pluralism as opposed to secularism ( not possible as long as The Constitution and Govt policies discriminate based on castes and religions) and work towards a uniform civil code with and intent of purpose towards development.
i feeel pity for congress. back in 2014 trump use to be butt of all jokes before being elected as president… congress continues to be butt of the jokes…
A very insecure person. Knows his CV would fit onto a postage stamp. Could have been sworn in as PM during UPA II if he had the cojones to run GoI. Today’s episode shows the family as grubby, greedy, reeking of entitlement, unable to go out and win power on the campaign trail as Smt Indira Gandhi used to. Lacking the astuteness to protect their state governments from being toppled. It must have taken a lot to get these 23 courtiers to rebel.
The congress lackeys in the media love to spread a repeated lie that Sonia Gandhi made a big sacrifice in 2004 in refusing the Prime Ministership. And this lie has been spread so systematically and consistently so that it appears as a gospel truth. Mr Subramaniam Swamy was the one who went to the then President Abdul Kalam and told him about the law which forbids a person of foreign origin from holding the office of PM. After this the proposed meeting between the then President and Kalam was cancelled amd Sonia was informed that by law she cant become the PM. This is the truth which Mr Swamy himself has explained on many occasion and the video is available on Youtube for these media lackey to see. But along with congressmen their spokies in the media like The Print want to thrust greatness and virtue of sacrifice on Sonia.
Great praize for Narendra Modi’ s leadershp.. I feel ths is a great propaganda.None of his major steps had succeeded.From cuerrency evaluation,GST, cauvery water dispute till the enaction of new laws….The new education policy ,environment impact assessment etc etc ..Loud noise can not substute for knowledge,wisdom and statesmanship. Education shalldetermine the future of a nation.InIndia itcan bring people of various states or throw themapart. I really wonder how the sangh is not having a single levelheaded intellectual.Even ifModiis able tobuild Hindu Rastra ,dismantle Indian Constitution and put Manusmirtiin command eliminate alladversaries listed by them they can achieve peace,prosperity and progress.People are bitter and losing hopes even today. Destiny of such a vast land can not be decided by few people distanced away from reality.
AUCTONING THE LAND OF THIS COUNTRY AND HANDING OVER TO VIDHESI IS A GREAT OFFENCE ON MOTHERLAND; BHARAT MATHA.
A very sad day for the Congress party. Why can’t the Gandhis step down gracefully. Our country needs an effective opposition which the Congress under the Gandhis are not capable

The contribution of this party towards the country is big ZERO.

Why don’t all of you people understand? All that family wants to do is to stay on and sacrifice for the party and the country!!
Good luck.
