Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.

It’s time to act fast n quick need to strengthen back party from grass root levels find the ways to connect to people congress must look into this aspect rather than being in ac rooms n tweeting once a while without being connected on ground .The time has come to pay way for next generation
Coming to the defence of MMS is justified, given all the achievements of UPA 2. . But all good PMs also had their low moments like Nehru with CHina. In the case of MMS it must be his failure to directly intervene in the 2G licensing procedures and enforce a rebid. He has given many reasons for this, but none convincing. The Congress must realise that it was this failure that led to loss of reputation for the UPA.
Only the Lutyens media the pall bearers of the gandhi family r worried about the family’s existence. But India has long ago decided to get rid of the family. Don’t say the family practices secularism because Rajiv only brought an amendment in Shahbano case to deny maintenance to a divorced destitute elderly women.
instead of discussing , arguing abd countering with in themselves congress should ask the people why they did not vote for them – one thing is sure – common men gained nothing during UPA 2
Poor Manmohan Singh. Blamed for others mistakes. Surprise why nobody blames Gandhi scions, whose ok only interest was make money and stack in forein banks. UPA went and told Supreme court they can’t release rotting food grains in the FCI godowns for the dying people of Orissa. Now claim they worked for poor. Self centred leaders who are somebody looted the country left and right. 2014 to 20, they were immersed in their past glory. Now they talk of introspection. Leaders like PC, Mani, Manish etc should be ashamed of their conduct.
It is good that there are such discussions within the Congress, even of there appears to be conflict. But the real value comes if it leads to something productive.
What can be productive for the Congress if it is to have fighting chance for the future to come back into the reckoning
A. Gandhi family takes a back seat in terms of taking any kind of public office and focuses only on being a guiding and sounding board for the party. Given the inherent competence levels visible, Rahul Gandhi should focus only on building the organization under his mother’s supervision and keep his public pronouncements to the very minimum
B. The younger generation (or what is left of it) who have leadership capabilities, need to be put in charge of each state to bring ground level political presence and organization back in shape. In states where Cong has power they should take charge of either the chief ministership without a role in party organization or head the party organization without a ministerial role.
C. The old guard has to step back and play the role of the equivalent of BJPs “Marg Darshak Mandal” though with an active role. The Gandhis stepping back and eschewing office could set the example. They could either be accountable the younger generation put in charge of state successful or working in think tanks on political direction and rejuvenation of the party or lending expertise to build and competent alternate program in areas like economics, agriculture, employment, exports, defence, human rights and police reform etc
It might even be worthwhile to see if a remerger with Congress splinters like NcP would be productive to get back into power. It might just provide additional leadership bandwidth and gentlemen like Sharad Pawar could pull senior Cong leaders together as well
In absence of any action but just internal wrangling the party will only go further into the swamp. If the Gandhis have any foresight they will use this opportunity productively
Hypocrisy at its best. These are the very same people who vilify and denigrate P V Narasimha Rao – the architect of the Indian economic transformation. Not once did they praise him or point out his invaluable contributions to modern India. Why? Because Ms. Gandhi harbours a dislike for him. Even on his death, the party did not consider honouring him and celebrating his achievements. Instead, his family was cold shouldered.
Congress is depicting a real life generation gap between the old and young leaders. Generally the young leaders should finally won. But in case of Congress it’s the other way. The primary reason why young leaders can’t stand up to old ones in Congress is young ones leadership i.e. Rahul Gandhi.
Given the way the anti BJP media portrays Shri Amit Shah, I am surprised that they have not held him responsible for planting Shri Rajeev Satav in Congress. On a more serious note, it is fun to see how the elderly “senior” leaders are getting worked up on the comments of their middle aged “young” leaders.

Can you tell us the names of the people who asked Congress to introspect. I’d probably want to vote for them in the next election.

Problem with grand Old party is it’s being run by old persons, who lost connect with people.
