THE
Congress Party has reached such a state of affairs because the top leaders
(read Gandhi family) do not want to learn anything from past mistakes. For
them, it’s business as usual. The crisis is deeper. Most of the senior leaders
of the Congress Party appear to be in a depressed mood. It’s not that they are
not competent or they cannot motivate the workers on national level. Their real
worry is being leaderless and direction-less. But business within and outside
the party is not leaderless. It has a leader, Rahul Gandhi.
However,
most of the Congress leaders are not able to understand Rahul’s politics and
missions. In the face of a crisis, senior leaders are also trying to determine
who is the boss of the party. No doubt, Rahul Gandhi has emerged as the face
but his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and her husband Robert Vadra command
considerable clout in the management of the party and the Congress-ruled
states. As disclosed by party leaders, nothing has changed. A new coterie is
managing the show even though the working style to manage the party and states
is same. The Congress ruled Chief Ministers are the wisest lot and have found a
way to manage the leaders who manage the family. As one senior leader pointed
out, Robert Vadra is still the boss. Vadra is still in demand by the ruling
clique within the party and Priyanka Vadra and Roberts’ words are final as far
as the management of the states are concerned. Sonia Gandhi is aware of the
complex situation within the family but she is in a fix.
