PERSPECTIVE | Is Rahul Gandhi ready to lead the Congress to victory in 2024?

The Hindu  

The Congress leader has been on a charm offensive in recent months, but that might not be enough to topple the BJP. When Rahul Gandhi recently launched a frontal attack in Parliament on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s failure to contain ethnic violence in Manipur—his first since his disqualification from the Lok Sabha was revoked by the Supreme Court on August 4—it was impossible for the Bharatiya Janata Party or its partners in prime-time TV to dismiss it as mere fulmination coming from a languid Opposition stable. What the Congress needs But is a repaired public profile of Rahul Gandhi and the Opposition coming together enough to capture power when the country goes to the hustings in 2024? There was also planned drum-beating in the media following the Bangalore meeting on July 18 to underscore that it was Rahul Gandhi who named the coalition as “INDIA” or the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance. In March, while addressing party members over the telephone in a program that was telecast live on several local news channels, Mamata Banerjee had said, “Rahul Gandhi is Modi’s biggest TRP.” “The Congress campaign has to encompass a broader national message and showcase national leadership vis-a-vis important issues of governance, security, and foreign affairs to attract diverse voters.” However, when it comes to narrative-setting, Rahul Gandhi is inconsistent and, purely from an electoral point of view, impractical.
