Ghulam nabi is now free from Congress’ servitude
In the last 8 years, over 70+ major leaders have left the Congress Party
Almost all of them, have blamed the monopoly, dictatorship, and arrogance of the Gandhi Family
But the question is: Why? Why would Rahul Gandhi burn his own party to the ground?
What is the plan? Maybe there is not plan
we will discuss the reasons for the exodus within Congress, and also why a lock of a decent opposition is a bad thing for India
Hello and Welcome to The Show!
I apologize for the delay in the art competition winners' announcement, but I will do my best to get that out this week
Now lets discuss today's video
So you may have heard, that After half a century of loyalty to the 'parivaar', today Gulam has become 'azaad'
He is a veteran Congress leader who has been a minister in Indira Gandhi, Rajiv gandhi, and Manmohan Singh’s governments
and one of Congress’ most important leaders in Kashmir.
Ghulam Nabi Azad has pinned the blame squarely on Rahul Gandhi and his “coterie of inexperienced sycophants
He has made sure that his exit inflicts damage and the whole world knows exactly whose fault it is that he left.
He wrote a letter that has reflected what many other big leaders like Jyotiraditya Scindia and Hemanta Sarma had said while leaving Congress
he said that The top leadership does not listen to anyone whose last name is not Gandhi
he called out Rahul Gandhi for "immaturity" and for "demolishing the consultative mechanism" in the party
it took you so long to figure out that Rahul Gandhi is immature?
this is your own fault. We have known this for a while
he said that Rahul was ‘immature’, ‘childish’ and ‘surrounded by inexperienced sycophants’
: “ Worse still, the ‘remote control model’ that demolished the institutional integrity of the UPA government now got applied to the Indian National Congress.
He said: "when I and 22 other senior colleagues, including former Union Ministers and Chief ministers wrote to you to flag the abysmal drift in the Party, coterie chose to unleash its sycophants on us"
This is the state of his party
Remember another young leader and spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill also left the party last week, citing similar reasons
It really isn quite beautiful for Rahul Gandhi to destroy his own party’s democratic structure and then complain about India’s democracy in Foreign Press
Congress is in a Meltdown in support of the Gandhis
Some are disillusioned. Salman Nizami, who was Salman Khan of Bandhan to Rahul Gandhi's Jackie Shroff, Is now distancing himself from the party
Jairam Ramesh tweeted: “A man who has been treated with the greatest respect by the Congress leadership has betrayed it by his vicious personal attacks which reveals his true character.
Siddharamaiah also said something similar
but when your destruction is near, your prudence is the first casualty
instead of introspection, Look at the arrogance of the party
Ashok Gehlot saying no one would know him without the Gandhis
just look at Rahul Gandhi's response
This is the level of blindness and arrogance that Even the biggest leftists are tired of their incompetence
If a leftist like him is upset, you gotta think something is wrong
Its like If the Taliban is saying you're too extr3me
maybe its time to stop
For people saying why this conscience did not rise before: there is Opportunism here without a doubt
if he knew Rahul was immature he could have left the party earlier
he could have left when he knew the UPA govt was a remote control govt, but he didn't
he quit after The party refused to give him nomination for Rajya Sabha, and instead, sent Imran Pratapgarhi to the Upper House
But it doesn;t matter why he left: The point is: that the reasons he mentioned are completely valid
In fact, my favourite news was that after this letter, Congress has announced that a Presidential election will be taking place
this is as unlikely as Asadduddin owaisi donating to the Ram Temple
Lets see the Candidates with a diverse list of candidates: Sonia, Rahul, Priyanka
and... that's it
They are willing to make a foreigner a president and you say Congress is not democratic?
he is such an important Kashmiri leader that
Farooq Abdullah advised the Congress leaders to introspect why a loyal leader like Azad had to resign and to get him to return
In the 2014 elections in J&K, Congress had won 12 seats, in which Azad had a big hand
Six more members of J&Kcongres have quit
In all likelihood, Azad is floating a new party in Jammu & Kashmir and besides people from Congress, leaders of some local parties too may join the new entity
Last year, Azad had Praised Modi
the PM himself giving an emotional speech on his farewell from the Upper House
The Narendra Modi government conferring the Padma Bhushan on Ghulam Nabi Azad earlier this year
after which he said: "It feels good when the country or the government recognises someone's work,"
I think he should join BJP, instead of making his own party
That’s what Amarinder Singh should have done. Secondly, Didn't work well for Amarinder Singh, lets's see if it will for Ghulam Nabi.
Firstly, J&K is a union territory, when will that status go? He is 73, what is the longevity of his party
He could help a nationalist party integrate the State into the country
We will see what he does in the future,
Look, let me get this straight. This is not good for India: you need a good centrist opposition
I hoped that is what Congress would be after they lost in 2014.
But remember what Jaiveer Shergill said : A section of the Congress that believes in “Left extreme (sic) ideology” is making systematic efforts to turn the party into a “poorly-managed NGO”
they had the option to go the centrist route after 2014,
But they thought the only way to defeat the BJP was not to be a good centrist opposition but to go far left like AAP, RJD, SP, TMC, AIMIM
These are fringe, LW groups whose entire Modus operandi was extreme polarization and appeasement on caste, Language, and religion
The people of India have shown that India is comfortable with Hindutva and sees India as a Panthnirpeksha nation with a Hindu civilizational nature
this is why they voted for the BJP and generally supporting Some of the big policies, like article 370, Ram Mandir, UCC, CAA, and the abolition of triple talaq
Congress could have tried to understand India, understand their connection to their civilization, adopted Soft Hindutva, stopped Muslim appeasement
supported UCC, supported Ram Mandir and 370 abrogation, we won’t support NRC but will support CAA
Congress couldn’t understand that. How will they? This guy’s their leader
And because the Congress went full LEFT, and accused the BJP of being far right, the public never bought the Opposition’s claims
The public started seeing the BJP as the new center, which resulted in its great political performance. BJP’s main agendas became the Center's agendas. And so, there are only two political sides
Center-right and the far-left
The far left already has a lot of competition. We need competition in the center-right. The complete dominance of one party is not good.
It leads to complacency like on issues of law and order, free speech, economic development, and freedom of temples
India needs a Centrist or Center-right that adopts a version of Hindutva and fights the BJP on these issues or offers people an alternative.
Congress could have been that party, but well they chose Rahul and we all know what Rahul did to the congress in the last 10 years
So it seems like the competition to the BJP may just come from within BJP, when the party gets too big and has too many good leaders fighting for power
