Congress conundrum (A difficult problem)<\/strong>: On announcement of poll schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The organisational polls must stir (Excite the feelings or emotions of) <\/strong>its workers to life if the party is to survive <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Amid turmoil <\/strong>and uncertainty, the Congress has announced the schedule for the election of a new president. Senior leaders are revolting (offend the moral sense of)<\/strong>, the party\u2019s incumbent president Sonia Gandhi is battling ill health, and her son Rahul Gandhi is unwilling to take on the mantle (take on the responsibilities and duties which must be fulfilled by anyone who has this profession or job)<\/strong>. The party will be electing a president on October 17, as per the schedule endorsed by the Congress Working Committee. The Congress is also planning a march \u2014 nearly 3,500 kilometres across 12 States and two Union Territories over 150 days, billed (Publicize or announce by placards) <\/strong>as the Bharat Jodo Yatra, or Unite India march \u2014 to be led by Mr. Gandhi whose future role in the party remains vague (Not clearly expressed or understood)<\/strong>. The party has also called a rally in Delhi on September 4 against price rise. To be fair, the Gandhi family finds itself in a spot \u2014 it will be ridiculed if one of them ends up as president, and if none of them is at the helm (in charge of an organization)<\/strong>, new dynamics (the way in which people or things behave and react to each other in a particular situation) <\/strong>with unpredictable consequences could be triggered in the party. If the Gandhis are seen as backing a particular horse in the race, that will cast a shadow over the entire election process. All told, the best course for the party and the family is to facilitate (Make easier) <\/strong>an election process that is as fair as possible, and use it as an opportunity to open an honest conversation on revamping (Renovate, restore) <\/strong>the party. The party is in decline, and the old strategy of waiting out the periods out of power will not work this time. It is at a crossroads (At a point of decision or a critical juncture)<\/strong> or a dead end, depending on what the Congress decides to do now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some pointers to what ails (trouble or afflict) <\/strong>the Congress can be found in the resignation letter written by Ghulam Nabi Azad, who was a key figure in the party for decades. The lack of grace and gratitude stands out (Be highly noticeable)<\/strong> in the letter, but Mr. Azad\u2019s career itself is proof of the validity of the charges that he makes against the party. With little popularity and no accountability, he remained a key decision maker in the party, became Union Minister for several terms, the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir once, and a member of Rajya Sabha for five terms, totalling 30 years. Only 11 people have had such a long innings in the Rajya Sabha. When he says that the party is being run by a coterie (An exclusive circle of people with a common purpose)<\/strong>, he surely knows what he is talking about. In fact, rootless managers who masqueraded (Pretend to be someone or something that you are not) <\/strong>as leaders ensured that mass leaders were humiliated and driven out of the party. The list of such people who could not remain in the Congress is long \u2014 from Mamata Banerjee to Sharad Pawar to Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. The capture of the Congress party by a self-serving cabal had begun long before Mr. Gandhi came on the scene. No other party allows people who are incapable of mobilising the masses and winning elections to flourish like the Congress does. The organisational election must stir ordinary party workers and grassroot leaders to claim the party for themselves, and show power brokers their place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
