Congress’ now estranged stalwarts begin campaigning towards their very own get together

As the nation heads for essential Assembly elections in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala and Puducherry, the Indian National Congress is hurtling in the direction of an alarming decline. Apart from Tamil Nadu the place it is going to piggyback on the DMK, its prospects particularly in Bengal look weak. At such an important juncture, the notorious G-23, comprising of the estranged stalwarts of the grand previous get together, is now brazenly campaigning towards the INC as senior get together leaders Anand Sharma and Kapil Sibal have acknowledged that the INC is getting weak.In an effort to show their present of energy, the G-23 leaders met in Jammu to demand sweeping reforms within the Congress get together. Senior leaders Ghulam Nabi Azad, Anand Sharma, Kapil Sibal, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Manish Tewari, Raj Babbar and Vivek Tankha attended the joint public occasion held in Jammu. It is pertinent to notice that the occasion was organised by the Gandhi Global Family – an organisation headed by Azad.At the assembly, Sibal hit out at INC, saying, “It is an opportunity, to tell the truth, and I will tell the truth.” He added, “Why have we assembled here today? The truth is that we see the Congress party is getting weakened… We have gathered together in the past as well… We have to strengthen the party together.”Sibal additionally hit out on the get together resolution of letting an skilled hand like Azad retire from the Rajya Sabha. “I felt sad when Azad was freed from Parliament… Hum nahin chahte thay ki Ghulam Nabi Azad saab ko Parliament se azaadi miley,” mentioned the previous Union Minister. Singing Azad’s praises, Sibal mentioned, “There is not a single leader who he doesn’t know personally. When he was leader of the Opposition and he telephoned any leader, they would come to his place the next morning… I am not able to understand why the Congress is not making istemaal (use) of this experience.”Deputy chief of the INC in Rajya Sabha, Anand Sharma too claimed that the get together is getting weaker. “Our voice is for the betterment of the Congress, for strengthening it in every state. The new generation should join. We have seen the good days of the Congress. We don’t want to see it weakening as we become old,” mentioned Sharma.He added, “I have not given anyone that right (to say that)… All of us have covered a very long distance to reach where we are today. Nobody among us has been airdropped. We have not come through a window or a ventilator, all of us have walked through the door. We have come through the students’ and youth movement.”Congress deployed Abhishek Manu Singhvi to counter the statements made by G-23 leaders in Jammu. Singhvi suggested the G-23 leaders to marketing campaign for the get together in poll-bound states to strengthen the get together’s hand.The frustrations of the G-23 leaders is comprehensible as get together scion Rahul Gandhi is set to sink Congress’ boat by means of his sheer incompetence and lack of urge for food for politics. Of late, Gandhi has been practising divide and rule politics as in Assam he hit out at Gujarat merchants which maybe performed a key position within the get together’s resounding defeat within the Gujarat Civic Elections. Recently in Kerala, Rahul Gandhi termed North India as “superficial” with the get together dashing to douse the hearth began by him. The G-23 leaders maybe realise that at this charge, Congress will quickly lose its standing as a nationwide get together if Gandhi was allowed to have his personal method and therefore have brazenly began lambasting the Congress of their last-ditch try to avoid wasting the get together’s sinking fortunes.
