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.
Outgoing party president Rahul Gandhi has said there will be a new Congress chief in two or three days, but selection process needs to be made more ‘democratic’.
India cannot be blasé about change in any important capital in the world. Let's look at five key areas where US policy matters for India and how it may vary between Harris and Trump.
In Episode 1544 of CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at some top economists pointing to the pitfalls of ‘currency nationalism’ with data from 1991 to 2004.
Troops patrolled up to Patrolling Point (PP) 10 on Monday. Though there are PP 10, 11, 12, 12A & 13 in Depsang Plains, it was decided that only one or two PPs would be patrolled.
While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
Congress and all opposition parties played the minority card for the last seventy years. Modi is now playing the majority card and he will go a long way. People of India are with him. they see in him an honest leader, financially clean and sincere to take the country forward.
a guy called KC Venugopal from Kerala is such a waste in any position ( corrupt & champ in extracurricular activities too) but a guy like Sashi Tharoor is missing, what kind of people he is selecting !!! Moreover, you should keep people’s leaders like DK, Pilot, Makken etc..
Modi’s BJP has taken the country far out of reach for Pappu and his family, no matter how many times they (Pappu, mama Sonio, and sis Priyo) try to tinker with the Cong set up. So much so that even smaller parties like AAP are forced to toe the BJP line for their own survival. Ditto for many media businesses too. With an effective national opposition no where to find, disparate regional parties are forced to make do for the national opposition, failing miserably in the process. Congress will need to find a Narasimha Rao from within, to stand any chance of survival. And the chances of that find are as good as Modi’s BJP acquiring secular credentials.
Congress DID FIND a ‘Narasimha Rao’. But, being true to their salt, and intent ONLY on glorifying “The Family”, they completely demeaned him, tore down whatever good he did, insulted his memory even after his death, and conspired to attribute to Manmohan Singh everything that PVN achieved. Congress did not even have the decency to allow people to pay homage to PVN’s mortal remains, by keeping the door to Congress Bhavan (or whatever it is called) in Delhi) and refused to even let him be cremated there. There ARE one or two, who perhaps “MAY” measure up to PVN today in Congress. But, far from ‘needing’ to find him/her, they will do their best to KEEP HIM OUT.
I don’t find Mr Shashi Tharoor’s name anywhere. He is knowledgeable, bold and steadfast. Such people should have been given prominent responsibilities. With preparation for Rahul Gandhi’s reinstatement at the Congress party’s helm, the BJP simply cannot be dislodged, and the country cannot see the governance and progress as per the spirit of the Constitution, and the democratic ethos of the country.
“He is knowledgeable, bold and steadfast”; “THESE” are the very reasons for his being kept OUT.
The burden of carrying ”the spirit of the Constitution, and the democratic ethos of the country.” should not be left with the Hindus alone. It should be shared by all.
Pappu can run a country but cannot win an election,
Feku can win elections but can’t run the country:
who gets your vote?
PS: Feku brings thug-shah and rahul brings a competent team.
And that competent team can loot the country again.
With the no. Of vacations Pappu takes, is he going to Work from Home (Italy)..
In this time of distress if any advice is forthcoming then it should be accepted immaterial of from whom it is coming as new ideas will surely help in fighting this pandemic
Rahul is a Mphil in Development economics. His advice should be taken very serious ly and immediately implemented. manmohan is a failure . He shouldn’t be heading the committee..
So the stage is once again set for the return of the reluctant bridegroom who literally ran away from the scene with his tail neatly tucked behind his legs. Evidently the Congress party’s eternal romance with the Gandhis is certain to continue. Rather than coax and cajole Rahul to return and head the party, the Congress should hand over the reins to someone like Sachin Pilot (now that Hyotiraditya has picked up his bags and gone) and give him free rein to reconstitute the working committee. Rahul’s return will sound the death knell of the Congress and that is for sure.
The article speaks of Rahul Gandhi ‘s comeback in parties leadership, Events show like that, unless Rahul Gandhi introduces some new faces , it’s not only some changes here or there would help. Unless he changes basically the style he works or the way he speaks doesn’t bring the real changes
Why doesn’t India listen to Rahul Gandhi ? Fine editorial by Shri Sujit Nair on H W News. He ends simply by saying that he lacks a core constituency that listens to him, ripples his message outward to the periphery and even the zone of indifference. However, I think it goes much beyond that. When you watch RG on TV, do you believe from the core of your heart that your everyday concerns, raising a family in increasingly difficult times, resonate with him. Does an individual who takes a foreign vacation almost monthly have any genuine empathy – as Pandit Nehru certainly did – with citizens in Amethi or Wayanad. Dil kiya toh clean shaven, varna designer stubble. The Congress President is launching a brand of soap for the nth time, which consumers have sniffed and cast aside.
Rahul ji is shallow, lacks intellect and is devoid of real world experience. In short, Rahul ji is an embarrassment.
PM Modi is an exceptional individual and is a once in a century leader, with a superb team at his command. It is obvious to all that Modi ji & his team genuinely have the nation’s best interest at heart. Contrast that with the scam ridden decades of Congress (mis) rule.
However, nobody is perfect – not even Modi ji – and credible opposition is required to keep the Government sharp.
Please Congress, get rid of ‘The Gandhi’ baggage, reinvent yourself and play the role of constructive opposition – not the parody that you’ve become. Else, be prepared to be consigned to the dustbin of history.
Rahul, hahaha.

What is the talking point. The President ship in congress have to rotate within one parivar. Nobody can question that.
Is this paid news ? Please clarify.
At least not to the extent of “embedded media” that we see today to have been working for the inefficient incumbent government 24x7x365x6.
Reads like a paid article. Is this motley crew not too old to play “Minister, minister”?
Rahul is a Mphil in Development economics. His advice should be taken very serious ly and immediately implemented. manmohan is a failure . He shouldn’t be heading the committee..
He is an M.Phil from Oxford, he claims. Proof is required because he cannot be an Oxford product.
Kuchho bhih karlo . Indian public ulmost converted in Hindu jehadi . And fixed in Hindu Muslim conflict.
Each and every event will cover in Hindu Muslim .
Congress should rename itself in Kerala Congress after all that’s the only place that will send a handful of MPs.
Come to think about it, the Communist Party of India too should get a name change to the Communist Party of Kerala.
What a joke! How many of these bozos can win an election?
I’m glad the party is working behind the scenes these days. I’m sure Congress will emerge as a strong force post Covid- 19.
So the stage is once again set for the return of the reluctant bridegroom who literally ran away from the scene with his tail neatly tucked behind his legs.

Congress …. please wake up.
Rahul ji is shallow, lacks intellect and is devoid of real world experience. In short, Rahul ji is an embarrassment.
