At least Rahul Gandhi in his capacity has cleared that the party’s president will no longer be operating under straightforward instructions of any remote control. He looked candid in wiping out this common blame on the party.
Interacting with the media persons during his Karnataka leg of the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, the former Congress chief categorically stated: “Both the nominees contesting for Congress presidential elections have a position as well as their perspectives.” This statement was sufficiently a clear indication of dismissing useless propaganda.
He did not stop here but also maintained that to call anyone a remote control would be hurting the softer feelings of both the candidates fighting the significant elections.
Thus a weary, composed and pensive Rahul Gandhi made his party position relatively crystal clear. Whosoever gets elected on the 19 th day of this very ongoing month as the Congress party’s new chief after a long gap of 22 long years, will surely have a free hand in carrying out decisions and running the grand old political organisation.
Opposition leaders are more often found to be so uncomfortable and inflict storms. Whether their accusations happen to be small, large, left-oriented, or right-inflicted, only the elected president will control the party affair)s. There should not be any sort of undue pressure.
When adversaries fling such sort of irrational charges they seem to be hitting at only unsettling the party. If his open demonstration of motherly love and its implication on his political mission is adequately connected with the people, he has every chance to affirm himself as a popular political leader in recent weeks.
