Determined instances search determined measures and this appears to be true particularly for the Congress. Even after a bitter fallout with Prashant Kishor submit the 2017 UP polls, the place many within the occasion overtly criticised the election strategist for deceptive the highest management, the grand previous occasion now realises it wants a few of Kishor’s magic to take care of its political relevance.
Prime Congress sources have advised News18 that the assembly between Gandhis and Kishor had a bigger agenda revolving across the 2024 polls, how Congress will be related and a think about makes an attempt to type a entrance in opposition to the BJP.
The presence of Sonia Gandhi on the assembly is important as most seniors in opposition choose to do enterprise. Sources say Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra requested how Congress will be strengthened. The necessity for constructing the occasion from under to high was additionally mentioned — a degree the G-23 had raised in a letter to Sonia Gandhi that until the organisation was strengthened on the district and block-level, the occasion would crumble.
On the assembly with PK, the massive image was mentioned — the explanation why Congress has not executed effectively, what ails the Congress in states the place it has been worn out and what must be executed for a brand new look.
Political observers really feel that the Congress occasion now appears to be like jaded and has not been in a position to sustain with the instances. The largest blow was when the sway of the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on social media pushed up the probabilities of the BJP, each on the nationwide and state stage.
The Congress belatedly joined social media and was extraordinarily aggressive, even trending in lots of circumstances, however this one way or the other by no means translated right into a profitable development so far as the state elections had been involved. The Congress definitely appears to be like lazy, dragging its ft and never figuring out which situation to take up. So as to add to it, contradictions and controversial feedback coming in from totally different Congress leaders are additionally believed to have harm the occasion together with huge infighting, ego clashes, unchecked ambitions and confusion — all causes the highest management believes could possibly be accountable for the rising highly effective regional satraps edging out the grand previous occasion.
Compounding the Congress’ woes has been the truth that many leaders are leaving the occasion for what they’re calling greener pastures. The lack of Jitin Prasada and Jyotiraditya Scindia might have invited caustic feedback from many Congress leaders, calling them traitors, however its affect on the highest management can’t be ignored. It’s additionally a actuality that the Congress occasion is not engaging for individuals who have caught round, with many leaders aimlessly ready for the following set of directions from the highest brass which too appears to be in a shambles.
At a time like this, regardless of a bit of the Congress revolting in opposition to the concept of a rank outsider calling the pictures, the occasion feels the import is a necessity and is now able to cling on to any hope.
The highway, nonetheless, just isn’t so clean. Sources near Kishor say he’s very cautious of the occasion and if he does take cost, will probably be with the situation and assurance that he can be given an “nearly” free hand like he obtained in West Bengal.
In Bengal, Kishor would even advise Chief Minister Mamata Bannerjee on what to say and when to say in addition to the appointments on the block and regional stage. Similar to the Congress, there have been murmurs of dissent within the Trinamool Congress about Kishor’s “dictatorial” perspective however as he delivered a spectacular victory for Banerjee, they had been quickly silenced.
The Congress high management additionally hopes that this could be the case within the grand previous occasion. Sources say one can count on many organisational modifications within the Congress quickly. The all-important situation of who will be the occasion president can also be to be sorted out. The group of 23 had raised the purpose that with no clear line of management, the occasion was in disarray. For all this and way more, the Congress is pinning its hopes on Kishor.
