Is AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra really helping her brother Rahul Gandhi in shooting the troubles or is she taking steps at the behest of others that land the entire Congress into trouble? The case of Punjab and Uttar Pradesh is selfexplanatory about how her decisions have added to the party's headache.
In fact, Priyanka is perhaps unable to understand that unlike the 80s and early 90s, the youth voters born after the 90s are hardly fans of the Gandhi family. These voters have other options too. Undoubtedly, this is because of local mass leaders that the Congress still has some ground in a few states.
Priyanka went on sidelining experienced leaders in UP, which harmed the party.
Assam, Uttarakhand and Kerala are also glaring examples of such myopic decisions. Nothing illustrates Priyanka's wrong move better than Punjab where she relied on Navjot Singh Sidhu and Charanjit Singh Channi.
Sidhu is in jail and Channi has disappeared from the political scene.
The party does not have any heavyweight at local level in the poll-bound Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat. The Congress has been out of power in Gujarat for over two decades, and this is the fact responsible for the grand old party having no significant face there. In Gujarat, the Congress is struggling to somehow stay in number two position. The absence of leaders like Virbhadra Singh in Himachal Pradesh would be felt on the day of the poll result. The BJP is likely to end the tradition of change of power after every five years in Himachal. This is what it did in Uttarakhand. It means the Gandhi family charisma is not working there.
The big crowd in Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra in Madhya Pradesh is actually the result of former CM Kamal Nath's hard work of the last two years. If Congress gets back to power in MP in 2023, it will be because of Kamal Nath only.
