Rahul's Decisions Spark Chaos in Congress

Infighting among staff is rampant, tensions in the headquarters are rising, and senior leaders face restrictions on bringing personal staff.

It is not well within the Congress party. Rahul Gandhi and his team have made a series of poor decisions, pushing the party into a crisis where leaders and workers are left confused about their next steps.

There is growing concern among party members about what exactly Rahul Gandhi wants. With each successive defeat, the party is weakening, and as a result, fear among leaders and workers has diminished. This has forced Rahul Gandhi to take strict action against some personal staff members of his sister, Priyanka Gandhi.

Reports suggest that those removed were facing serious corruption allegations. There are also indications that one or two in-charge secretaries appointed in Uttar Pradesh are under Rahul's radar.

Timely intervention prevented a bigger crisis for the party, but this situation has arisen due to the weakening organizational structure, where new leaders and workers have lost their sense of discipline. Infighting among staff members has become rampant, and tensions between the new and old headquarters are growing, which is not benefiting the party. Many senior office bearers have shifted to the new office, but they cannot bring in their personal staff or workers without seeking approval from junior officials stationed there.
