meeting up with rahul
The
Congress Party is worried that the media has been hypnotised by the BJP.
The party has a big media set-up, but it lacks leaders who can talk, motivate
and present issues before the media. Rahul remains their only hope. Rahul’s
secretariat is in action; he has been meeting journalists across India for the
last three months. Randip Singh Surjewala and Ajay Maken selectively choose the
journalists. The selection is based on the feedback of State leaders, or
monitoring of byline stories. One can say that the first round of discussion
has been planned with journalists who are generally Congress sympathisers or
loyalists. Each journalist is briefed that the discussion with Rahul is
strictly off the record. Rahul opens his heart before the journalist in the
one-and-a-half hour meeting. He informs journalists where and with whom he goes
to see movies. Issues about the entry of Priyanka Gandhi into politics are also
discussed. Rahul meets every journalist, shakes hands and if he finds someone
impressive, notes down his number also. In one such session, Rahul disclosed
that most of the people welfare schemes were drawn with the help of
industrialists, saying that rich and poor both have to grow. He disclosed that
now industrialists have come and revealed that they were promised the moon
during the 2014 elections by Modi, but the action is far from reality. Most
journalists are happy when they come out for one reason alone: the inaccessible
Rahul met them. Nobody is clear about the results of such interactions as Rahul
does not discuss any roadmap for the development of India. Unless there is an
agenda, no amount of interaction will help the Congress. Is Rahul listening? g
