The recent ‘rebellion’by some 20-odd senior Congressmen does not augur too well for the grand oldparty with national elections just 18 months away.
First the young Turkslike Jyotiraditya Scindia followed by Sachin Pilot revolted... Scindia left andfound greener pastures in the BJP. Pilot somehow did not bite the baitand unconditionally remained with the party.
Thisparty requires drastic changes to be made in its top hierarchy if they areto mount a serious challenge to the might of BJP and Modi at the next hustings.
The false notion thatonly a Gandhi can hold the party together has to be confined to the pages ofhistory. There are many instances of non-Gandhi family members holding the topposition of the party and even winning elections for the party eg.
SNigalingappa, Jagjivan Ram, Brahmananda Reddy, P V Narisima Rao, Sitaram Kesrietc.
There are somebrilliant and loyal hands in the party who can take over the mettle ofleadership whenever the situation warrants and make the party a force toreckon with and bring it back to its former glory.
