G23 | The reformists within the Congress party

The Hindu  

As a former Union Minister who expounded the “zero loss” theory in the allocation of 2G spectrum during the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government, Kapil Sibal is no stranger to controversies. Erosion of support The Punjab experiment to elevate Navjot Singh Sidhu as the State party chief and unseat Captain Amarinder Singh as Chief Minister, and the decision to induct former president of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union, Kanhaiaya Kumar, to the party and several other key decisions in which the Gandhi siblings are seen to be the driving force are being questioned. We know, yet we don’t know,” said Mr. Sibal, indicating that Mr. Gandhi is calling the shots despite stepping down as the party president two years ago. But the Congress’s internal strife is not only about the party’s free fall in elections or a tussle between the reformists and the loyalists, with loyalists alleging that the G23 is guided by motives like securing positions such as Rajya Sabha berths; it is also about Mr. Gandhi’s attempt to recast the party without the old guard. Salman Khurshid, another former Minister, wrote in a Facebook post on October 1: “Our leaders have led us from the front and for decades together ensured that we have the comfort of being in power.” With the Congress seeming to be in the grip of an ‘existential crisis’ now, it is, perhaps, incumbent upon the leadership to restore this faith in every ordinary Congress worker, not just the loyalists.
