The initiatives of Congress are to come in two areas. One within the party and the other with other parties.
First Congress has to Improve its communication with people, cadres, leaders and supporters.
Rahul is mainly shouldering this responsibility. But why not other leaders.
/1
It may be argued that some leaders are doing it within their areas. What about other areas, other leaders?
There will be many contenders for posts, maybe even for President’s if given a chance.
Why not leaders volunteer to propagate views, counter the Modi regime on the field?
/2
Some leaders give out statements in media, write their views on social media. Are they enough? Are they doing justice to their potential?
Even during elections, they limit themselves to their constituencies/ state.
Why should they not extend it beyond & even between elections?
/3
The statements of Congress leaders with few exceptions are bland, insipid, prosaic, not interesting and attracting enough to percolate to the people.
How many of their messages reached the people?
Can they not make it more attractive or find other ways to reach the masses?
/4
Some may say there are limitations of age, barriers of territory, egos, invitations, interference.
Most of them are artificial, self-imposed and can be sorted out.
These leaders do not devote themselves to the masses.
If Rahul does it, expected to do it why not others?
/5
It may be to some extent justified if age imposes limitations in movement. They can encourage, train, motivate other young leaders to do that job.
This is where the need for younger leaders sticks. Many of them are articulate, dynamic, forceful but may only need some guidance.
/6
It is a question of performing to potential within the limitations of the system. If a system has unreasonable barriers it is the responsibility of leaders to make efforts to solve them at the appropriate level. They need not throw up their hands and wait for things to change.
/7
It may be the truth. But things are not going to change so fast. There are limitations of discussions with leaders or among leaders. Frankness, honesty, dispassionate views, comments have their limitations in public or even in private discussions, as the truth hurts people.
/8
The above excerpts are part of my new blog: 'Initiatives - Possibilities - Within Congress'. Subhead: 'Leaders'
It is yet to be posted on my website; will be done once it is complete.

Rahul has a clear foresight to understand the depth of problems confronting our country and the dangers, consequences of ill-informed decisions by the Modi regime.

Definitely, he will be aware of the problems confronting his party. He has a right to choose his time and path.
/1
There may be many routes to choose with each having some plus and minus points.
It is for the leaders to choose the path which is comfortable, better for the interests of the party.
The outsiders may have fixed notions about adopting a particular path. They need not be right.
/2
The leaders, decision-makers have the benefit of information, ideas made available through various channels.

The outsiders can only suggest ideas, information and the possibilities which they consider as logical and sensible on the basis of limited information with them.

Some signals of Congress turn around are visible. One of them is the sweep in Punjab elections.

But Congress should be cautious and also bring changes within to ensure risk-free, more comprehensive turnaround.

Congress has its strengths, USPs. It need not have self-doubts.
/1
Congress is responsive, responsible party reflecting basic principles, philosophies and preferences of vast majority of Indians.

One reason for this is being mass-based. Further, it has the culture of consultations, discussions cultivated from inception. It still retains it.
/2
Changes in Congress strategies, approaches do not happen so easily. It is conservative, cautious that is reflective of its basic character.

There is nothing much wrong with it as it considers all views, moderates and consolidates them before proceeding ahead with actions.

This is a video of a farmer leader in conversation with media journalist. Most of the contents or opinion are based on facts and are sensible.

I am presenting the gist of contents of the video in following tweets. For correct version watch the video.

"When we have had so many pay commissions for govt employees after independence, only one commission was appointed for farmers in the form of Swaminathan commission. Even his recommendations are not implemented.
There is unity among govt employees that is why it has happened."
"The pay commission has taken for their calculation, a minimum required for class Ⅳ employees as Rs 450 per family per day. But for MGNREGA Rs 32 is considered as expenses per family for farmers. It is said they can manage. This gap should be bridged."

For BJP with tactics, arsenals they have, fighting opposition; eliminating them; diluting their strength is not a difficult problem.

How audaciously BJP captured power in many states, how they strengthened from nowhere in WB, Kerala, TN are simple, straightforward examples.
/1
Modi&Co is getting all their devious plans executed through pliable bureaucrats, judiciary, media with ample assistance from top corporate friends.
They have money, machinery, men to manipulate with their basic business acumen; ruthless, unscrupulous mindset to silence anyone.
/2
Everything is calculated, measured to the minutest details. They have plans A to Z ready, can come out with one anytime hitting the bullseye against anyone and anything.

They are also cool to indulge in photoshoot after making all arrangements to unfold their devious plans.
