Congress in crisis following adverse results in Assembly elections

The Hindu  

“It is a dystopian deja vu for us once again. The familiar repetition of a series of electoral defeats over the last eight years starting with the 2014 Lok Sabha election, followed by the seemingly never-ending iteration of the need for political introspection and organisational reinvigoration, all accompanied by the ultimate refusal to fix accountability and accept responsibility leading to persisting stasis.” That was how a veteran South Indian leader of the Congress, who has been with the party and its governments for nearly five decades and worked in various capacities—as Union Minister and president of a State unit—responded to the goings on in the grand old party in the aftermath of the massive reverses it recently suffered in five State Assembly elections. Many of the slogans called for Rahul Gandhi’s return as Congress president and expulsion of the leaders in the G-23 group from the party. He went on to add that the leadership was “in cuckoo land if it is not aware of the reasons for the party’s decline even after eight years.” Making a special mention of the sustained demands from many seeking the return of Rahul Gandhi as Congress president, Sibal said: “Some people have expressed their views that there can be no Congress without A, B or C. Obviously, they believe that ‘Sab ki Congress’ cannot survive without ‘Ghar ki Congress’. We demand the Congress party to initiate dialogue with other like-minded forces to create a platform to pave the way for a credible alternative for 2024.” Congress insiders told Frontline that following the first day’s meeting there was a telephonic conversation between Azad and Sonia Gandhi.
