Rahul Gandhi can resign as Congress chief and return in 2024 as PM candidate. But temporary renunciation could put family’s political relevance into question.
Many in Congress like Rahul Gandhi and Scindia lost partly due to BJP’s anti-dynasty agenda. BJP’s own dynasts, however, romped home with massive wins.
Dynastic politics is not the hallmark of just the Gandhi-Nehru family. It has now become an integral part of Indian polity, cutting across party divide and region lines.
CMs and ex-CMs from BJP, Congress may have to take a backseat to promote their children's political careers as both parties look to clamp down on tickets for kin.
At the united opposition rally in Kolkata Saturday, gen-next leaders like Akhilesh Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav and Jayant Chaudhary spoke at length against Narendra Modi and the BJP government. However,...
Pakistan’s reported air strikes on Kabul last night, coinciding with Acting Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi’s visit to India, seem intended to send...
Recommendations appear in Niti Aayog’s Tax Policy Working Paper Series–II. It says there is a need to shift away from fear-based enforcement to trust-based governance.
In service with the British military since 2019, it is also known as the Martlet missile. Ukrainians have also deployed these missiles against Russian troops.
Pakistan’s army has been a rentier force available to a reasonable bidder. It has never come to the aid of any Muslims including Palestinians or the Gazans, except making noises here and there.
How about a “Troika”, comprising: ‘Amarindar, Ahmed Patel and A K Antony” ? (like Amar, Akbar Anthony) . That way, Punjab can then be given away to Rahul and Priyanka’s favourite ‘Sidhu’.
There was a Tag Heuer ad with the tag line, What are you made of ? I have always been respectful of Shri Rahul Gandhi, do not approve of the motivated campaign that has been run against him. However, he should look deep within and ask himself that question. His mother has been too indulgent. If she wanted him to inherit the family business, she should have ensured that he started working hard on it in 2004, when he was 33. 2014 was not his cross to bear alone, although the family was exercising real power and authority for a decade. 2019 is his albatross alone.
Agree on the last half. Disagree on the ‘motivated campaign’ bit. The ‘PAPPU’ tag came because of certain reasons, one of which was his dumb smile while standing next to his mother at a press briefing after Congress lost the 2014 elections. At 33 years of age we (you and I) were out of homes earning our bread, building careers by showing performance. Our career growth came NOT just because how our powerpoint presentations looked and how we projected numbers, but how we executed, implemented and managed. Many times it was our integrity, dependability and consistency that won us the promotion even when the performance was not exceptional. Modi may NOT have been exceptional in first term, but his integrity and intent were above question and therefore he got another FAIR opportunity. Respect the verdict. Hope for the best.
Gandhi mukt Congress FOREVER is the only panacea for a healthy parliamentary democracy. But who will bell the cat.
Rahul was forced into yake up politics by Sonia, this is a sort of addiction. He should exit and never come back. Let others in the party take the responsibility on their shoulder or perish. Let a capable person analyse the situation and patiently reorganize the party to work hard. BJP not that capable to fulfill the aspiration of the people
and things will change within the next five years. Surgical strike that created nationalism will fade away if the economy fail to improve. There is none in this government with ideas so magical except false statistics and cover up of facts and reality.
Shri Singh, are you the official apologist for the Gandhi family? The fact is Rahul Gandhi’s heart and soul is not in politics. Just by being active on Twitter doesn’t make you a smart politician, only certain people in the media believe this. You can’t be bi polar in politics, sometime on and then off but then I think this is a Gandhi family disease
After two terms of UPA, Rahul with no responsible positions in either of them, not even a minister, just moved around like kid, supported all the inefficient elders and old so called stalwarts, literally made him more inefficient. We have seen this in the recently concluded election that his script writer Sam Pitroda has his won narrative and Rahul has no clue of what he was talking. Such approach will never make him credible alternative and people have this colonial mindset of just accept him as we do not have any other alternative. Such a large political party with 70+ years in politics, could not find an alternative outside of dynasty. That shows all.
Most foolish of authors in print continuing to compare dynasts of BJP and Congress and find solace that since dynasts of BJP have won, time for Congress also will come back!! Dynasts of BJP don’t extend beyond a constituency but dynasty of Congress owns the party and has converted the mighty party into a private limited property!! Unless this big difference is not analysed, end solution offered for rejuvenation of cong will fail as usual. Any man as servile and Intellectually corrupt as MMS is unlikely to be made anywhere and hence such a search is a waste!!
Instead of waiting for 5 years or looking for someone to keep his seat warm ,RAGA should choose a State where elections are going to take place in near future and he can make an attempt to revive his party and if successful,he should take the charge of the State as CM and perform some work with the help of his team .Along with same he can continue with his efforts to revive party in other States with help of leaders of those States ..This. can be one of the additional options for him in addition to 3 options mentioned in the article.
The wait of 5 years to get the top post is too long and can even become longer .RAGA missed the chance to gain experience to govern as he should have taken charge of some Ministry when UPA was in power for 10 years ,but that time and opportunity is gone .In present situation instead of waiting for 5 years he should take the route from CM to PM and should make efforts to revive his Party in a particular State where elections are due and he should be projected as CM candidate ,which of course can happen in a State where there is no aspirant for CM post at present or someone who is willing to leave his ambition to become CM for RAGA.If RAGA can be successful in this attempt ,which of course is not easy, he can remain in power and can overall see the revival of party in other States with help of State leaders. This may be one of the additional option in the list of three options as given in the article .
These questions after so and so who are silly as if the person in power is immotal ,every one is going to die and after death the world does not come to halt.It moves along .Sardar or no sardar ,if tadipar can run the ruling party ,who ever may be the congrress president will be better than him.certainly not less.
And other than what is stated by A D Amarnath some other qualifications will also add chances of revival of the party. These are all found in plenty in Feku but to name a few are:1. He must be a lie lama 2.Must capable of spreading hatred.3.Promote lynchings 4. Promote terrorism by giving tickets to terrorist undertrials 5.Manipulate various indices like GDP.6. Eat mushrooms 7.Make false promises. 8Extortion money for party.9 Disregard farmers.10 . Go on foreign jaunts..===
The person who is going to take over as President should have following qualifications. 1. Should be loyal to family. 2. Should be intelligent and competent. 3. Should be able to turn around the party all over india.4. Acceptable to all the fissiparious groups of khangress slaves all over india. 5. Should have good knowledge, grasp and oratory skills. 6. Should not even dream of becoming permanent President or PM .7. Should remain a slave to pappu and his foreign mother and arrogant sister. 8. Should be totally shameless. 9. Prepared to give up all the powers and post of President when asked to do so. 10. Should not open his mouth unless asked to thereafter also. 11. SHOULD have a goid face value, high education , reputation to be honest and public respect. Perhaps this is whay Pappu and his foreign mother is seeking. It is not possible for the God even to create such a person if you don’t consider MMS as lifeterm President. The other alternative is make Sidhu the party president. After some time, there will be no necessity for the president post at all. Surely there will be no party at all.
Pappu will be there as Congress president and again ensure modi sarkar comes back in May 2024 too.
Congress ,Sonia madam ki jaagir hai aur rahega
How about a “Troika”, comprising: ‘Amarindar, Ahmed Patel and A K Antony” ? (like Amar, Akbar Anthony) . That way, Punjab can then be given away to Rahul and Priyanka’s favourite ‘Sidhu’.
Classic!!! ????

I’d vote for option 2.
These people need to be hands-on with grassroots management.

Congress party had plenty of such castrated fellows right from the days of Begun Indira Khan.
