GIVE THE DELIVERER A CHANCE
The last six months has changed a lot of things in the States for the Congressmen. Organizational Elections are in full swing. Congress men from one State were sent to another to oversee the process. Rahul Gandhi who wants to make the party from a mass based party to cadre base wants free and fair democratic process to happen. This process has been more or less completed but has also left lots of mass base leaders unhappy.
The intention of this process is good and hopefully will result in a more disciplined cadre base. But the Congress sycophancy at every level is a tradition. If for example, a Kerala person has been made the PRO for Punjab, this Congress Keralite will weigh the pro’s and con’s of whom to favour; is Bhattal more close to the powers or Amrinder? Who is in favour in the eyes of the Central High Command? Not who is more a popular leader in the State. Only then this Keralite will lay the ground work of bogus voters, appointment of DRO’s, ARO’s etc. and who looks after the Keralite better in this State. Unfortunately the Keralite incharge does not understand that a confident mass base State leader does not need to gain favours to show his strength and will carry on never the less like an Elephant and when time comes, will squash the sycophants. But how can you not give preference to the solid person? The excuse given is ‘instructions are given from the High Command’. Sonia Gandhi’s name is used then. As if the Congress President has already told them her mind as to who to support for the future. So, if this is the case why is Rahul trying to do this whole exercise?
I have noticed in many States where Organizational Elections are being held and how they are being managed by the insecure Congressmen. The person who has been put incharge must know and has to do the ground work that who can win them the next elections. Who is capable of delivering because the person who is capable of delivering will not suck up to the person incharge and others who matter in Delhi. Can you imagine an Amrinder Singh or a Shiela Dikshit trying to gain favors and sympathy or suck up to anyone? Its not that they don’t have Senior Congressmen in the High Command who do not see eye to eye with them. But is that going to be the reason to let the State out of your hands. There are numerous complaints coming in from established leaders, former Ministers/MLAs who are not been heard because the leader who try and intervene in their home States have enough hold on these PROs’. We can just hope that these elections do not eliminate the people who work and have credibility in the State and loose out to people who cannot deliver. If this process is being orchestrated from the High Command then Rahul’s whole propaganda will be a farce. What is the use of this well meaning General Secretary when the system cannot change because of personal equations of these so called leaders? They should anyway be retired due to their incompetency, sycophancy and no delivery; track records of their tenures will show.
