Groups within Congress get active only when organisational structure is weak as its principles, system got eroded overtime. Congress should revive, restructure, reinforce its strengths but not due to the demands, threats of groups but to fight, overcome their destructive ways.
/1
The advent of a new strain of power politics five decades back introduced the tool of polarisation of people on every visible crack.

This changed political dynamics and priorities before the nation. It has to be corrected for the survival of our democracy and also Congress.
/2
Congress is not just a political party but it is a movement which many of the present generations may not be aware of.

Congress still represents basic ethos, culture, aspirations of people democratically within the constitutional structure and spirit it created.
/3
Congress should be the nucleus. The formation of groups, subgroups within to build pressure and bargain is against democratic values.

Many of the Congress leaders were trapped, afflicted, lured by power politics. Other parties could gain, flourish only by destroying Congress.

Rahul now draws his power not as a member of the ‘dynasty’ but from the family of Congress cadres, supporters and most of its leaders.

He is strong-willed; shouldering the cross and hope of all. He is taking the bull by its horns with emphatic, forceful, forthright views.
/1
Rahul undertakes Townhall type interactions with diverse sections of people, Congress youth wing, apart from open intellectual discussions with eminent personalities, educationists, experts.

It is possible for him to elevate it to include party cadres, leaders. It is needed.
/2
The direct channels for interactions, discussions with people and party cadres, leaders, supporters in an appropriate format including Townhall type will set the change in Congress.
His down to earth messages of truth earns respect of all.
Not many in politics can match Rahul.

If one believes in Congress principles, policies and become its member then they should know that everyone is equal before the organisation to voice opinions, ideas and make contributions for its growth.
It does not become a right to demand power, position for their growth.
/1
The basic human failings of egos, importance, aspirations, parity in power/ position do exist. But it raises to an ugly pitch due to organisational weaknesses, absence of active, failproof, impartial mechanisms for making decisions, solving disputes, enforcing disciplines.
/2
The sad truth is that most of the Congress leaders are suffering from these failings. We cannot send everyone to a ‘correctional course’.
Congress is also to share the blame for not correcting its course when the deviations went unnoticed, uncorrected and nearly unmanageable.

This narration is not a chart of measures for the consideration of the new President of INC. It is only a brief outlook about issues involved and the need for its leaders, cadres to extend support to their President to uphold the supremacy of their organisation and its system.
/1
A gist or bullet points for measures to be initiated may not carry the weight when presented by an outsider. Brevity will not convey its need, impact. The details, justifications should form part of the suggestions. It will not be complete without interactions in a platform.
/2
We have unlimited talents, vision to contribute to such a platform. The ideas, the spark may be small or big but how it is developed, evolved, consolidated to near perfection with free interactions, discussions are more pertinent, essential. A team with total focus is needed.

Rahul emphasises the process of conversation and dialogues wherever he goes including MSMEs, students of college and schools. He is aware that it is not happening within INC.
Maybe he is preparing INC reminding them about its basic philosophies, practices. It is essential now.
/1
Congress leaders should come out of their group culture. When Congress is a democratic, mass-based party, everyone has a right to be heard.

The leaders should submit, surrender themselves to the organisation and the system that governs it. No one is superior or inferior.
/2
Rahul’s statement while addressing INC youth wing is very significant. He welcomed everyone following Congress ideology but also said those who do not follow it can leave anytime.
The message is individuals are not important, indispensable but the organisation, its ideals are.

After the announcement of the elections, I expected the off-field issues about INC will recede to the background. I also went on a silent mode for many reasons. Did not expect a tweet seeking my suggestions to the new president of INC. My response needs some elaboration.
/1
I do expect Rahul to take over or be in a controlling position to execute his plans. He is fully aware of the core of problems confronting INC. He is rightly stressing the basics of INC on conversations, discussions, welcoming all to INC, stopping no one to go out.
/2
It is only others in INC including leaders who need advice on mass-based characteristics of INC; listening, engaging in interactive, conversation mode forgoing their perceptional and personal supremacies. The advice of outsiders will not work for this. But Rahul can do it.

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.
