There is a lot of discord in the Congress ... And this time the news has not come from the sources, but its top leaders themselves are proving this by their statements. When the meeting of the party's largest organization Congress Working Committee, or CWC, started on Monday, Sonia Gandhi offered to step down as the interim president.
At the same time, former President Rahul Gandhi questioned the timing of the letter of leaders sent to Sonia. Rahul alleged that the party leaders did all this with the connivance of the BJP. It would hardly have been 20-25 minutes for Rahul's statement that his protest started. Among the protesters were Ghulam Nabi Azad and Kapil Sibal.
About 15 days ago, 23 party leaders wrote a letter to Sonia Gandhi and said that the BJP is continuously moving forward. In the last elections, the youths strongly voted for Narendra Modi. Leadership in Congress should be full time and its effect should also be seen.
What happened at the CWC meeting today?
Sonia Gandhi offered to step down as interim president and said that she should start the process of replacing me. According to media reports, during this time, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and senior leader AK Antony asked him to continue in the post.
Recently, Rahul Gandhi expressed his displeasure over the letter of Congress leaders about the change in party leadership. He said that when Sonia Gandhi was admitted to the hospital, why was the letter sent about party leadership. The letter demanding change in party leadership was written in connivance with BJP.
Rahul's allegations of 'collusion with the BJP' were disputed. Barely within 20-25 minutes, former minister Kapil Sibal tweeted that never in the past 30 years has he made a statement in favor of the BJP on any issue. Are we still in collusion with the BJP?
Shortly thereafter, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad said that if Rahul Gandhi's allegations of complicity with BJP are proved, then I will resign.
Sonia became interim president in August last year
Rahul Gandhi has already refused to take the responsibility of the party president. He resigned from the post after the party's defeat in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Sonia then held the post of interim president for a year in August.
BJP's stance on the discord of Congress
Madhya Pradesh Minister Narottam Mishra said that the Congress has many qualified candidates for the post of president. These include Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Rehan Vadra, and Miraya Vadra. Activists should understand that the Congress is like a school where only the headmaster's children come top in the class.
After all, why did the demand for change arise?
1. The party's base is shrinking: Sonia Gandhi was the president in the 2014 elections. In this election, the Congress could get only the lowest 44 seats in its history. Rahul Gandhi was the president during the 2019 elections. The party could win only 52 seats.
2. Cadre weakened: Congress cadre has weakened in the country. By 2010, where the number of members of the party was four crore, now it has reduced to less than one crore. In other states including Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Manipur, the pull of leaders in the Congress has had an impact on party workers.
3. Congress government in 6 states: Congress government survived in Chhattisgarh, Puducherry, Punjab, Rajasthan, Jharkhand and Maharashtra. Kamal Nath's government fell in Madhya Pradesh after Jyotiraditya Scindia's rebellion.
Different opinions in the party regarding the post of president
In favor of Rahul: Salman Khurshid said on Sunday, 'Everyone's consent should be seen instead of internal elections. Rahul has the full support of the workers. Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh also said that at the moment only the Gandhi family should take over the reins of the party. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel also expressed confidence in Rahul Gandhi. Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that Rahul should come forward and lead the party.
In favor of a change in the party: 23 leaders including Ghulam Nabi Azad, Anand Sharma, Kapil Sibal, Manish Tiwari, and Shashi Tharoor wrote to Sonia Gandhi and stressed on a major change in the party. He said - Leadership should be full time (full time) and effective, who should be active in the field. Its effect was also seen. Elections of Congress Working Committee should be conducted. Institutional leadership mechanisms were formed immediately so that guidance could be provided to rejuvenate the party. However, he did not write that the Congress President should be from a non-Gandhi family.
