Read the full text of the letter written by rebel Congressmen like @ghulamnazad, @AnandSharmaINC, @KapilSibal, @ManishTewari, @ShashiTharoor, @prithvrj & others. Some may back out in face of ruthless retribution that Sonia Gandhi is capable of deploying, others may not. 1/5
The letter makes some compelling points:
1) Youth overwhelmingly vote for Modi and BJP
2) Congress takes highly amateurish and uniformed positions on matters of national interest
3) Much touted NSUI reforms by Rahul Gandhi were a sham
4) Congress is super over-centralized 2/5
But hidden in the generalities is, I think, is an important message by these rebels which include no less than likes of @ghulamnazad and @KapilSibal. That message is this:
Congress was always left-of-centre party but but under Rahul Gandhi it has become extremist left. 3/5
This extremist leftt turn of the Congress, under Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi is what has made Congress divorced from Indian roots and ethos. It is reflected daily in the positions Rahul Gandhi takes on issues
The only agenda is creating chaos, never constructive. 4/5
Any democratic polity has aright-of-centre party & a left-of-centre party.
The fight by rebels like @KapilSibal, @ManishTewari and @ghulamnazad should ideally be to make Congress moderate left party. Rid the Gandhi-family-Congress of its Maoist, extremist, anti-India agenda. 5/5
