Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh has suggested a “bypass surgery” for the party, after the debacle in the recent Assembly elections. But now the party seems to bypass the surgery!.There were breaking news on the national news channels on Wednesday that Rahul Gandhi will be made the party president soon.But there were no indications of any sweeping changes in Congress.
The party is gearing up for the UP Assembly elections next year. But most of the leaders in UP asking for the massive campaign of Sonia Gandhi’s daughter Priyanka.There is an increasing chorus for bringing Priyanka into active politics. This will an irking demand for Rahul. Sonia Gandhi reportedly prefers Rahul to Priyanka to make the chief of the party.Interestingly, some senior leaders want a status quo in the party. They want Sonia Gandhi to remain the president for a few years more. Those leaders are not sure of Rahul’s ability to lead the party into the success path.
Just bringing Priyanka into the active politics will turn the fortune of the party? This is the doubt of many leaders.On one hand, the Modi led BJP is on rampage to achieve “Congress mukt Bharat”.On the other hand, Congress is on the losing spree with its confused and inefficient leadership, observers say.If the party loses in Karntaka, then it will confine to rule some small hill states . Congress needs a massive change and aggressive comeback to resist the BJP’s strategy. Will Rahul Gandhi do this? The time has to answer this question.
According to the media reports, Sonia Gandhi will elevate Rahul as the party president and she will remain as the chairperson of Congress Parliamentary Party.There could be some changes at the top level and Rahul’s close aides like Jyotiraditya Scindia will get much more responsibilities.
