SACHIN PILOT LOSES, CONGRESS PARTY LOSES MORE AND SONIA FAMILY WINS IN INDIAN POLITICS

All those  who understand the need   for healthy and progressive democracy in

India , want a strong opposition party at national level, that can question THE Modi  government , if and when necessary,

with dignity ,  facts and figures  and logic.





Today, apart from BJP, Congress is

the only national party in India , with  all the other parties essentially being

regional outfits. CPI and CPI (M) are fast losing  theIR   foothold and do  not

look like regaining  the earlier

stance as an effective voice at national level.





Under such circumstances, the only

party that can play it’s role as a credible opposition  party at the national level is the Congress

party.  Unfortunately, given it’s present

structure and functioning style, Congress party has become a family party for

all practical purposes.





A family oriented party cannot be a

national party in it’s true sense and   would

not command the confidence level of the cross section of the people.   If Congress party were to  become a  credible opposition party now and effectively

challenge B J P  in the next

parliamentary election, it has to shed it’s  image as a party representing the interests of

one family.  This can happen , only if

Sonia and her daughter and son would leave space for  more capable and knowledgeable persons  to emerge as leading lights in the Congress

party.   





The recent exit of  Jyotiraditya  Scindia and the near exit of Sachin Pilot

clearly point out that Sonia family would not give up the control of the

Congress party and allow anyone to challenge the leadership position of Rahul

and Priyanka in the          Congress

party.   





Many people in India , who think that

Congress party should be reformed  and energized

, have been of the view  that two faces namely Jyotiraditya  Scindia and Sachin Pilot could be the  persons fit and credible enough to  become the top leaders of the Congress party,

with capability for  guiding  the party in a progressive way , so  as to win

the confidence of the large section of the country men.   





Both Jyotiraditya  Scindia

and Sachin Pilot are still young, well qualified, knowledgeable and

charismatic.  Certainly,  there

have been much expectations from these two persons amongst not only

members of the Congress party but  also  general public . Unfortunately, expectations that

the leadership of the Congress party would  be vested with these two young men would not be

met.





Why is this situation ?  





Everybody knows that Jyotiraditya  Scindia and Sachin Pilot have much  better leadership qualities, sophistication

and balanced views more than Rahul and Priyanka .  Rising of these two persons in the Congress

party to top positions would mean that Rahul and Priyanka would become  ordinary members for all practical purposes.

Sonia family can not like this , as it means that the Congress party will go

out of the family control.





Therefore, it is in the interest of

Sonia family  that  Jyotiraditya  Scindia  has gone out of  the party and in the same way, Sachin Pilot

should go out of the party or should be humiliated in the eyes of the public that

would effectively spoil his public image. Both the tasks have now been  “successfully” executed by the Sonia family.





When Jyotiraditya Scindia protested

against the treatment meted out to him and he decided to quit Congress party,

no worthwhile efforts were made to retain him. His quitting served the

interests of the Sonia family.





In the case of Sachin Pilot,

conditions were created to humiliate him,  so that he too would quit the Congress party

or his image would stand diminished  and

he would not be  in a position to

challenge Rahul and Priyanka for top leadership in the party.





Sachin Pilot was insulted   and humiliated  by being dropped from the position of Deputy

Chief Minister of Rajasthan and leader of Congress party in Rajasthan.

Certainly, Ashok Ghelot , the Chief Minister of Rajasthan , would not have

dared to humiliate Sachin Pilot without THE  blessing of Sonia family.





The  humiliated  Sachin Pilot  has been reduced in stature in Congress party

and amongst the people , as he was left with no other alternative other than “surrendering”

to the Sonia family  and accepting some

face saving formula,  which really meanS

nothing.





In  the present condition of Sachin Pilot, he has

lost the battle in the Congress party to seek top position. 





 Congress party has lost  the opportunity of getting out of the vice

like grip of Sonia family and get a charismatic leader like Sachin Pilot to

lead the party , that would  rejuvenate

the Congress party. 





Sonia family has won  by ensuring that Rahul and Priyanaka would

remain unchallenged in the Congress party , with no difference  between Sonia family loyalists and Congress

party loyalists.
