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.
In Just Transferred, Bhavdeep Kang and Namita Kala write about Ashok Khemka, the man who was transferred 53 times for speaking truth to power and cancelled Robert Vadra’s land deals.
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey urges Modi govt to look into 2009 Pilatus defence deal, draws links between property bought by Bhandari's firm in London to Vadra.
The manifesto’s silence on legal reforms in the digital space is concerning. The outdated Information Technology Act, about two decades old now, remains India’s nodal tech law.
Economists say there are weaknesses in India’s GDP data. But statisticians claim the accusations are based on flawed understanding, saying while GDP has problems, the economists are looking in the wrong places.
Coaching centres for Army aspirants in Jhunjhunu are shutting down due to plummeting admissions in the face of a lack of job guarantees under Agnipath Scheme.
Leave aside the outsiders in media and other political pundits, even the Congress persons, and the Dynasty itself don’t know what is ailing the Congress. The disease is like a Corona. The causes, symptoms and cures for which have many advisers.
Though Shivam gives totally free advice to Rahul on what should be the strategy to defeat Modi, it was not expected that he would even advise Rahul to revolt against his ailing mother and go for the juggler. He should allow Gandhi family to run Congress as they wish as Congress cannot work without Gandhis. This is accepted by Congress people themselves and also by all others. All that happens inside Congress is just a family affair. God knows why Shivam is wasting his time and energy on advising Rahul. Perhaps he should now start working for Mamata Di.
It’s a foolish proposition of Tharoor who’s aiming at the top slot that changing Gandhi family will help Congress come to power. Tharoor and others haven’t realized the incredible change in the political climate of today’s India. The heyday] of secularism of Nehru, Jaiprakash Narain has gone forever. Religious fanaticism, communalism, regionalism and casteism rule the day. Modi has won twice. Sonia is not to be blamed. It’s the change in political climate. Why did Mayawati, Yadav and popular local leaders fail? Modi alone can succeed in today’s political climate of India. Even if you change Sonia, Congress cannot win. Times have changed.
I don’t know why journalists enthusiastically and passionately write pages and pages about Gandhi family ? Are they getting paid ? It does not appear to be sincere journalism. The new Indian generation is no more interested in dynastic rule
hmmm. yes. now dynasty doesn’t matter. parivar is all that matters. the sangh parivar. is it progressive or regressive is the debate that rages on.
The Mughals, particularly the royal dispensation, was known to speak among themselves, not in Hindi, Urdu or Persian, but strictly, Chagtai Turk, to keep the rest of rhe folks strictly out of family business.
The Gandhis, and this is no exaggeration or political mudslinging, are known to speak among themselves not in English, Hindi, Kashmiri or Gujarati, but strictly, Italian, according to those who have been in their company within whispering distance.
What the Gandhis, therefore, talk at dinner table, is certainly Greek to their closest retainers.
This opinion heads nowhere. ?
why is there a problem if they speak italian. even italian is from indo european lang family or derivative of sanskrit. if that gives some superiority feeling.
they all have good intentions for india. how good the earlier regime is made clear through the mis-directions the current regime is taking which speaks most sanskrit.
an opinion beyond facts and lazy kind of journalism
The well-wishers and self appointed ‘advisors and strategists’ for the Congress (including this author) are as confused as the party leadership. Basking in the past glory with dismal present and uncertain (bleak ?) future, blessed with uninspiring leadership; our sympathies are for with the dedicated defenders of this ‘had been’ party !
Just 2 days back, Shivam wrote an article in the selfsame “ThePrint” that Congress should be – and that is the word he used – “annihilated”. Now, he takes a U-turn, and gives advise to safeguard Congress. Hypocrites!
Is not it the job of journalist to view things from different perspectives and show people reality from different point of views??
He is no politician and has no reason to stick to previous stands and ideology.
Shivam Vij is another Psuedo secular leftist intellectual.
That’s actually incredibly lazy analysis from YOU Aryan. Grow up and learn to assess things from multiple perspectives
Shri Vij has to churn out a certain number of articles in a specified period to earn his salary. In COVID times he is unable to go out much and meet people. So he is just doing his job the best he can. He is not be taken seriously.
This is a relief. For a moment I thought there was a real risk of a non-Gandhi becoming Congress Leader.
Hopefully Madam Gandhi will stay on for 6 months and that will give enough time to relaunch Mr. Rahul Gandhi who will bring his renewed strategic vision for the Congress!
Why so much fuss about the president of the party. Gandhis will always be decision makers in congress. During PVN, sonia wasn’t active because she never wanted to be. Also does the president command so much clout because he is president. Is nadda fraction of NM. Or amit shah is not any powerful after he passed the mantle.
This brouhaha in congress party about the president is all non-sense. real problem is they are clueless to take on bjp in most communalised atmosphere. it looks damn difficult to dislodge current regime with secularism as the message.
“Shoe I am “you STUPIDO. Stop boring us with the FAMILY stuff.
Rahul Gandhi should have credibility enough in the party to take decision which are accepted by all the fellow party members if he is unable to convince his party members thta shows lack of leadership quality .
India is a democracy and not a monarchy where we should accept a person based on his lineage as a leader
All drama is as per script. one amongst A.k. Anthony, Mam Mohan singh or Ahemad Patel , loyal to SG will be made the President of the party temporarily. . Hot seat will kept hot till Gandhi family member want to adorn it . No talent outside family is recognised. As per unwritten qualification for Congress President, the candidate should have mixture of foreign blood in his/her body. This is happening for a long time and now has developed as most important CONVENTION to be followed and strictly adhered to . Surprising our all knowing journalists either do not observe it or want to ignore it, to inform and comment .
IT IS THIS CONGRESS PARTY WHICH MADE THIS COUNTRY INTO A DISASTROUS ONE !! IT IS THE PARTY WHICH REIGNED FOR SO MANY YERAS BUT DID’T DO ANY THING FOR THE POOR…THEY ENJOYED THE POWER AND LAVISHLY SPENT MONEY AND MISUSED GOVT. MACHINERY ONLY TO REMAIN IN FRONT LIGHT!! NO CONTRIBUTION AT ALL!! THE SUFFERINGS AND AGONY OF THE COMMON PEOPLE OF INDIA NOT HEARD…ONLY GRABBED THE POWER!! THEY INSTIGATE THE HINDUS AGAINST PUNJABI…INCITED COMMUNAL RIOTS IN MUSLIM AREAS TO GET MUSLIM VOTES…NURTURED ALL KIND OF CORRUPTIONS IN THE PAST BEFORE BJP TOOK THE BATON OF DESTRUCTION!! MOST DANGEROUS PARTY IN INDIA ALONG WITH BJP !! BOTH ARE IN THE SAME BOAT !!
Shivam We…zzzzzz ! You knew everything the other day!! Where did your 3-year plan go? Gandhi clan threw it into dustbin?
Be consistent!
There is a seat reserved adjacent to ‘Swami Nithyananda’ in ‘Kailaasa’ for you to continue preaching as usual.
Well, there is a Sunday Guardian report that ”Rahul proposes to push 70-year-old colleagues into retirement”. That would include his mother!
Leave aside the outsiders in media and other political pundits, even the Congress persons, and the Dynasty itself don’t know what is ailing the Congress. The disease is like a Corona. The causes, symptoms and cures for which have many advisers.
“Shoe I am ” you STUPIDO. Please don’t bore us with your love for the family

INC has now become INTERIM National Congress
Get a life Shivam……
I honestly see a lot of similarities between Rahul and Shivam!
Just 2 days back, Shivam wrote an article in the selfsame “ThePrint” that Congress should be – and that is the word he used – “annihilated”. Now, he takes a U-turn, and gives advise to safeguard Congress. Hypocrites!

None of them is intelligent enough to discuss politics.
When Mr. Vij is not writing about Modi, he makes sense.
