This refers to the ‘Big Story’ article, “The more he fails, the more he's hailed!” (March 17) by Rajesh Singh. History and statistics show that a dying party can resurrect itself. The Congress has been suffering from a leadership crisis, with Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi widely seen as a failure, indifferent and incompetent. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is the most meritorious in her generation of Gandhis. Her arrival can possibly give the Congress an image makeover. She can then lead the battle from the front.
The Congress is surely losing its power base across the country, and for good reason. The decline and fall of the grand old party is an arresting story, written time and again; but this time the party is at the nadir. It’s failure to project a suitable chief ministerial candidate in most of the elections must have harmed its prospects. On ‘Congress-mukt bharat’ the BJP is now making a deeper dent. India has completely changed and the new generation needs aggressive bold-minded leader like Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
