I have been in politics for the last 23 years. But he has been with the party for so long, but has not created even one local leader.ĭo you feel the party has become undemocratic? Once Rahul Gandhi said he wanted to go around the country like the Mahatma and identify local leaders. That's why I am requesting them to step aside in the interest of the party and the nation. While I give them credit for working hard, I want to tell them, you are not effective. Priyanka worked really hard, but the writing was on the wall.ĭoes it not show that people have no faith in them?Ībsolutely. The UP debacle started with Narasimha Rao, and we have not been able to come back after that. In UP, Priyanka Gandhi campaigned extensively, but 97% of the Congress candidates lost their deposits. Similarly, no individual should be the leader for too long because the organisation is bigger than any leader. They kept changing the leadership in those days. I am not saying they alone are responsible.Įven Mahatma Gandhi had been the president of the Congress only one time. Let me be clear about one thing: Priyanka and Rahul are responsible for what happened in Punjab as much as the state leaders. The PCC presidents in Goa, Manipur, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh were asked to resign after the debacle, but the top leadership remains. US President Harry Truman had a sign on his desk that read, 'The buck stops here'.īut here, if everything goes well, the leader gets the credit and if everything goes wrong, everybody else gets the blame.Ī good leader should understand that the buck stops at his table. Then the coterie around them pleads for a withdrawal saying the Congress will not survive without them. Photograph: Shrikant Singh/ANI PhotoĪfter every election debacle, we see a resignation drama. IMAGE: Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi at the Congress Working Committee meeting, March 13, 2022. I am not forgetting the sacrifices made by the Gandhi family. Like the country is bigger than the prime minister or the prime minister's office, the Congress party is much bigger than the Gandhis.
The reason I am bringing in Modi here is, the Congressmen should understand that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. You cannot disagree with me when I say that people are branded anti-national when you question Modi. Why do you bring in Narendra Modi into this? Those who criticise the Gandhis have been meeting with the same fate for a long time. So, those who are criticising me and suspending me are doing exactly what the Modi bhakts are doing. When you criticise demonetisation as a disaster, you are branded anti-national. Every time we criticise Modi, the bhakts of Modi say we are criticising India. If there is an election within the Congress, even if it is a secret ballot, they will win hands down. When I said the Gandhi family had to step aside, and not step out, it was because we have consistently seen that the public has not accepted them. In 2014 when Mustafa made that comment, I also would have said he was wrong.īut today I am talking very logically and not emotionally. He was suspended from the party.ĭo you think the biggest problem with the Congress is that anyone who criticises the Gandhis is sent on his way out? You have been barred from speaking on television for asking the Gandhis to step down.Īfter the Congress's worst-ever performance in the 2014 Lok Sabha election, T H Mustafa, a Congressman from Kerala, said Rahul Gandhi was incapable of fighting Narendra Modi.
