The need of the hour is to unite all those who are opposed to Modi, Shah and RSS to defeat their strategy of dividing people, spreading hatred to impose their ideology.

Most of the opposition parties groups are united by their secular, democratic vein but divided by egos.
/1
What is the purpose of having or forming separate parties or groups when there is no logical reason except for personal domination, the progress of their leaders or groups?

When they are bound by equality and justice where is the justification to impose one’s superiority?
/2
The left parties and few other regional parties have different roots and ideology though most of them are bound by secularism and equality.

Most of the other parties have roots in Congress ideology. Why should they stand divided and pull each other down benefitting BJP?
/3
No group wants to give the other groups their space. There is scope for a win-win situation if they explore. What was needed was a conversation between them. That was not happening due to their pride, prejudices, self-esteem, mistrust and also power bargain, benefits involved.
/4
The political party is an instrument to communicate with people and execute their views and aspirations.
It is not a weapon to manipulate, misuse or divide people for political, personal benefits.
But parties, groups mainly indulge in power bargains. People are forgotten.
/5
We need not bother too much about whether the groups are functioning within a party or outside it. All are isolated power centres having a hold on to their groups.

When many groups combine to rule with no discipline, blackmailing, backstabbing, bargaining becomes a rule.
/6
What we need is democracy and discussion to evolve the right solution.
They have to work together. Individual opinion, perception, conclusions are not important. Exchange of views, opinions with everyone is needed.
Then why they hold on to individual, group, party identities.
/7
One should know how to work within a democracy. You are to respect others’ views. You need others for discussions.

If you say others are to carry out your dictates without questions you are not part of democracy. You are a dictator. You aim to get what you do not deserve.
/8
You are to expect that some of your views will not be accepted and may be rejected outright. What is needed is to examine where it is wrong and represent your case.

Even top leaders’ views may be rejected and not accepted sometimes. They have to honour it. That is democracy.
/9
When you are in a public space you are to check your weaknesses, likes, dislikes and learn to deal with issues dispassionately, transparently.
Only if that is mastered one can become a successful, lovable leader acceptable to all sections of people and society of our country.
/10
Everyone cannot become a top leader. Why not allow the democratic process to throw up a leader.
The popular choice of the people will become visible or will emerge on its own.
If the political leaders truly have concerns for people, then they should honour their verdict.
/11
In fact, one has to search for truly democratic political party within our great democracy.

We have rajas, chieftains, power lords holding on to territories waiting to be seized by ‘Emperor Modi’ with his troops of traders, businessmen reflecting British linkages, practices.
/12
Maybe with this threat of ‘Neo-British colonialists’ and supremacists, Rahul is intending to relay the democratic platform of Congress.

This is part of his plans to resurrect and restore the Congress party to its Gandhian ways to secure India’s independence from Modi.
/13
Rahul said anyone who believes in Congress ideology can return.
If democratic process is laid It will be open for anyone to earn the trust, affection, recognition to become mass leaders to serve them, the party and the nation.
The groups, parties can unite leaving their egos.

Congress lost its cadres to various group leaders. Their erosion continued to this day despite some wins in between due to other factors.

The organisation was losing its base or connectivity with the base even when they had support and image with the masses.
/1
Congress should be restored back to the masses, a place where it has roots. It should be taken out of the grip of group leaders and group culture.
Democracy is the strength of the Congress party. Where is it now? It was throttled by the group leaders to retain their supremacy.
/2
The democratic process would have thrown up mass leaders who remain connected to the people. They naturally would have become a threat to group leaders and their linkage to the group itself. So democratic elections within were replaced more often by ad hoc measures.

‘The nature of Congress is lost and the depth, understanding of Gandhi, Nehru is not there’ stated Rahul.

Where the mass-based movement driven by Congress party and its leaders went on wrong track losing its mass base and more controlled by groups of leaders or power brokers?
/1
It is evident that Congress has always been led by a conglomerate or mixture rather than a fusion of leaders of different ideas from left to right and were guided by democratic culture, principles, philosophies of Congress.

But they were united in addressing public concerns.
/2
The domination of groups within started happening possibly post-Nehru-Shastri period. There were instances even before of leaders with identical, similar views grouping together.

But post-Shastri period the tussle became power-centric in the garb of principles, policies.

No one can stop Rahul from taking over as Congress President again if he agrees to it. Even if he does not agree, his political control over the party, people will not diminish in any way.

He talked about the drastic changes required in Congress. He will make it a reality.
/1
His steady, steadfast approach, clarity and firmness on issues do indicate that Rahul is going to go ahead with his plans of rejuvenating congress come what may.

He continued with it even after his resignation as INC President. Why will he dilute his plans now?
/2
When drastic changes are to be effected they should be carefully planned and executed.
It is not easy to change the mindset of people habituated to a process or system.
One has to wait for the idea to settle in their minds and the political weather becoming conducive for it.

Do we have a political leader like Rahul with such a rare combination of positive qualities? How can one ignore?
Let us list some of them here.
He speaks from the heart frankly, openly without inhibitions.
He talks about inadequacies of Congress; says it must change radically.
/1
Rahul admits some differences, dissatisfaction among leaders; insists on discussions ensuring democratic space, culture within.
He does not see anyone as a threat or enemy if they raise questions, but still respects & loves them. He even loves Modi and registers it with a hug.
/2
There is no hesitation on his part to speak truth even if it politically hurts him.
He is fervently and consistently raising his voice against fascist Modi regime.
Rahul says he will speak his mind even if he was to fight all alone against Modi, BJP, RSS till his last breath.

We love reading about the heroic achievements of Gandhiji and other heroes.
Gandhiji’s followers were not experimenting with truth like him. But they were experiencing the truth and enjoying that path.
Rahul is following Gandhiji’s footsteps and is practising the truth.
/1
It is not possible or necessary to do what Gandhiji did. One need not indulge in ‘Experiments with truth’ like him to reach his exalted status.
But the Congress party and its leaders can try to retrace the Gandhian path. Maybe, they are too conscious of their status to do it.
/2
If Gandhiji was self-conscious about his status he would not have become a symbol of simplicity with half dhoti; would not have achieved what he had with his moral courage in pursuing truth, leading the people.

Rahul has such courage to lead people on the right path.

Many may acknowledge the strengths of Nehru Gandhi family but may still have doubt whether Rahul has it in him to lead and fight against Modi & defeat BJP.

We are inclined to believe that his potential is doubtful or deceptive unless proved.
Post facto ‘predictions’ are easy.
/1
When we refuse to see the truth or read signals correctly we deceive ourselves. But we conclude that the strength of the individuals or issues are deceptive.

We fail to apply logic and sense to every aspect of successes, failures, information but jump to conclusions.
/2
The successes and failures are decided by many factors. They should not be seen or compared in isolation. Circumstances and challenges before Rahul and Congress were many.
When Rajiv took over Congress organisation strength was better. When Rahul took over it was in bad shape.
