For instance, ever mounting unemployment problem is the crucial issue concerning the demographic dividend of the nation ! In terms of vote count this section of society has a lions’ share !

Similarly, offering loans to farmers to solve farmers suicide and distress problem is not the lasting solution ! The party must come out with innovative and new ideas how it would improve the lot of the farmers ? Then imparting affordable quality education and offering affordable healthcare system in the nation are the themes of paramount significance ! How will Congress effect improvements in these two worthwhile concepts of welfare state ?
The Congress panelists on TV channels concentrate more or less on assailing the ruling party but they are found wanting in this context ! It is infact high and ripe time to be offensive rather than defensive ! They ought to grab opportunities on TV Channels during
panel discussions exploiting the same to highlight solutions off and on to such like countless problems to attract and woo the masses !
Congress Chief Mr.Rahul Gandhi must bear this important factor in his mind whosoever first seizes the intitiative will succeed in outsmarting the NaMo led BJP !
Above all, Rahul Gandhi should not forget that his party will have to encounter and resist ploys, theatrics, lies, rhetorics and vilification tactics of NaMo during the poll campaign ! The task of outsmarting NaMo this time is undoubtedly Herculean but not impossible !
This golden opportunity of “ridding India of megalomanic and authoritarian rule” now must not be frittered away !
