Congress used to mocked BJP’s ‘missed name’ and ‘100 members’ technique, however now it’s pressured to comply with the identical technique

Facing a extreme existential disaster and failing to place up any entrance towards the juggernaut of BJP led NDA, Congress- India’s grand previous occasion, is switching techniques and emulating its arch-rival BJP. According to information reviews, Congress is discontinuing the ‘missed call’ system of accomplishing membership within the occasion, after receiving a depressing response.Instead, for the first membership of the occasion, a person will now must pay a charge of 5 rupees upfront. Furthermore, solely those that will join 100 or extra members to the occasion will probably be granted an energetic membership.“Congress will soon launch a Congress membership drive with permission from the State President Dr Rameshwar Oraon. The missed call membership model is being discontinued. A fee of five rupees will have to be paid for primary membership and at least 100 members will have to be connected to become an active member.” mentioned Brijendra Prasad Singh, Congress District President, Dhanbad.It was BJP that had first floated the idea of ‘missed call membership’ and it grew to become the largest political occasion on the planet by way of this initiative solely. However, citing a scarcity of participation and inter-connectedness with the occasion, BJP shelved the plan. It later launched the idea of charging 5 rupees for main membership and the following ‘connecting 100 member initiative.’While there isn’t any disgrace in emulating a mannequin that’s efficient and works for different events, however it’s the identical Congress occasion that had as soon as mocked BJP for making an attempt to attach with its fan base through the use of the missed name mannequin. However, determined instances name for determined measures.While in a celebration like BJP, an outsider has an opportunity that he/she’s going to rise by way of the ranks and sometime could assume the very best chair of authority; it’s not fairly the identical within the case of Congress occasion.Reaching the highest echelons of the Congress occasion remains to be a utopian dream which only a few have had the fortune to attain. And those that have reached the very best energy corridors, inadvertently the Gandhi surname connected to their names.A few years again, Congress needed to backpedal on its ‘With INC’ (Indian National Congress) app from the Google Play Store, after it evoked a tepid response from the general public, garnering solely 15,000 downloads in its lifetime.While Congress remains to be undecided on naming the Party President, which by all estimates will probably be Rahul Gandhi once more — BJP, alternatively, underneath the management of JP Nadda is making large strides. Even the fortress of Mamata’s Bengal is trying fragile and will very effectively be demolished by BJP within the upcoming months. And the largest motive for will probably be: the military of foot troopers that BJP ready and correctly skilled, for the nice a part of final 6-7 years – one thing which Congress by no means paid any heed to.Read extra: Congress dissidents tear into Rahul Gandhi for his juvenile remarks on China and PM ModiCongress has come to its senses, few years too late. Since 2014, BJP has massively scaled up its endeavour to carry younger blood into its ranks. Hopefully, Congress will get a booster shot of confidence by way of the change in technique as a result of the Indian democracy wants an opposition, a powerful opposition.
