The timing of Rahul becoming Congress President is right â for the party and himself. However, the road ahead isnât smooth and both have a hard struggle ahead to regain Indiaâs confidence and support Why prove what is already well-proven? Is there any need to prove once again that, as in nature, change is the only constant in politics? That Newtonâs law â what goes up must come down â is also applicable in electoral democracy? If anyone, any party or any dynasty, arrogantly thinks they can remain all-powerful all the time, history waits in the wings to knock them down. History tolerates many flaws in leaders who seek to shape it, but not arrogance. A leaderâs downfall begins when he or she falls prey to vanity. When future historians record the certain defeat of the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2019 or 2024, they will surely attribute it, among several other reasons, to the arrogance of the partyâs leaders. They became puffed up when the BJP won, much against its own expectations, a clear and decisive majority in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. They deserved their moment of celebration. After all, no party had managed to achieve that feat since 1984. However, the BJP leaders interpreted the poll outcome to mean that the Indian National Congress, the countryâs oldest political party, was on its way to extinction â or, rather, that it had to be made extinct. Hence was born their vainglorious slogan: âCongress-mukt Bharatâ. They came to believe that the Indian polity would become what it was in the early decades of Independence â unipolar, with the BJP replacing the Congress as the sole pole. Well, India in 2017 is not what it was in the aftermath of 1947, notwithstanding the Narendra Modi governmentâs self-glorifying decision to hold a âFreedom-at-Midnightâ session of Parliament last year to unveil GST. India today is looking for an alternative. And when no clear alternative is in sight, history, acting through peopleâs desire for change, creates its own alternative. Sonia Gandhi proved her critics wrong For example, few in the BJP in 2003 (or even in the Congress and other parties at the time) believed that Atal Bihari Vajpayeeâs government would taste defeat in the Lok Sabha elections in 2004. And not many in India believed that Sonia Gandhi would lead the Congress, which had tasted repeated defeats in 1996, 1998 and 1999 parliamentary elections, in defeating the Vajpayee-led BJP. Many BJP leaders would pejoratively dismiss her as a âforeignerâ who had no understanding of India. She was dubbed âa reader, and not a leaderâ, referring to her way of reading out speeches at public rallies. But they were in for a rude shock. The Sonia Gandhi-led Congress defeated the BJP not only in 2004 but also in 2009. The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) was non-existent before the 2004 elections. But when India needed an alternative, it created one. This is a lesson all political parties â Congress, above all â must remember as Sonia Gandhi passes on the baton of presidentship of the Grand Old Party to Rahul Gandhi. India is looking for an alternative to Narendra Modiâs government. The Congress, under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, can, and will, answer Indiaâs call. It can do so in 2019 itself, provided the party rejuvenates itself sufficiently in the coming year. Else, 2024 (or earlier) will be a certainty. In any case, barring a tragedy, Rahul Gandhi will be Indiaâs next Prime Minister. One small and self-evident point must be mentioned here. There is simply no possibility of a regional party and a regional leader heading the government that will replace Modiâs. This is because no regional party leader can challenge the BJP. The Congress alone can. India is not going to either see or tolerate the repeat of the Deve Gowda experiment when the time for an alternative arrives. Despite some good initiatives, Modi Governemnt is more âpracharâ and less performance Why is India looking for an alternative? Because Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government are failing to meet peopleâs high expectations. They are failing to keep their own promise of âSabka Saath, Sabka Vikasâ. To be fair and objective, Modiâs popularity, though declining, still remains high. His government has so far not been tainted by any big corruption scandals, which wrecked the reputation of UPA-II. His government has unveiled some innovative and much-needed initiatives such as the Swachch Bharat Abhiyan, Digital India and Make in India, even though their implementation has been patchy. Notable progress is taking place in accelerating expansion of our countryâs highway, ports and power infrastructure. But the Modi governmentâs big failures have been on three counts. One, demonitisation and GST â what the government itself has touted as the Prime Ministerâs most courageous decisions â have failed to win peopleâs appreciation. The resultant economic slowdown is hurting the common people. Growing unemployment is leading to disenchantment among young Indians. Two, Modi and his party are convinced that âvikasâ (development) alone cannot ensure perpetuation of the BJP in power, and what is needed is continuous consolidation of the âHindu votebankâ by pursuing the âHindutvaâ agenda. As a result, the promise of âSabka Saathâ has gone for a toss and the past three-and-a-half years have been marked by divisive issues taking the centre-stage. Three, there is a creeping feeling, even among many of those who supported the BJP in 2014, that the BJP government is more âpracharâ (self-congratulatory advertisement) than performance. And since one and only one face is projected in the governmentâs super-expensive ad-blitz, the BJPâs strategy of promoting a Modi-centred personality cult, which was completely unknown in the partyâs history, philosophy and traditions, is bound to prove costly. Rahul Gandhi should creatively synthesise young new talent with old and timeless traditions of the Congress However, this does not mean that the road to power will be smooth for Rahul Gandhi. Organisationally, the Congress has become weak at all levels. Rahulâs efforts, as the partyâs vice president, to re-build the organisation bottom-up, have so far not yielded visible results. At the top, the party is still dominated by many old and tired faces. There has been no infusion of new and youthful blood. Even though disillusionment with the BJP has started, the Congress is far re-capturing the imagination of the Indian people and re-instilling hope among young Indians, whose votes will be decisive in 2019. This is both a severe challenge and an beckoning opportunity for Rahul Gandhi. With humility, modesty and grace, which have become his widely appreciated hallmark traits, but with steely firmness, which he is yet to show, he should remove those oldtimers from important positions in the party who have very little to contribute to its urgent revitalisation. He should enable âa hundred new flowers bloomâ in the Congress party. He should resolutely promote promising new talent, especially young talent, capable of bringing new ideas, new vision and new credibility to the party. Needless to say, young Rahulâs new young Congress should remain faithful to the old and timeless ideals, convictions and goals of a party that was once led by Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and other great patriots. With a creative synthesis of the new and the old, Rahul should quickly present before the nation a positive vision underpinned by absolute commitment to pro-poor and inclusive development, corruption-free good governance, clean politics, unwavering secularism, social justice beyond slogans, friendly and cooperative relations with all our neighbours, nuclear disarmament, and peace and progress in a rapidly changing world. He should not hesitate to initiate a much-needed national debate on how to peacefully resolve the Kashmir issue once and for all, how to normalise relations with Pakistan, how to comprehensively improve relations with China, how to revive SAARC, and how India can provide leadership to transforming the destiny of South Asia. He should also set a new example of shunning divisive politics, and practicing consensus-based and cooperation-boosting politics. Here, he should not hesitate to continuing the good work of the Modi government and reaching out to the patriotic people in the BJP and RSS, besides other non-Congress organisations, for a new culture of building national unity in the true sense of the term. Wasnât this the culture of tolerance, dialogue, peaceful conflict-resolution and constructive cooperation that Mahatma Gandhi preached and practiced? Therefore, if Rahul Gandhi wants to be a true follower of the Mahatma and all the other wise leaders and philosophers who have trodden this ancient and holy land, if he really wants to provide a different type of leadership, destiny has created an opportunity for him. And India is waiting for him. No Signature |
