In the euphoria about the unprecedented Congress victory in Karnataka, let’s not forget this one meeting on March 24.
Rahul Gandhi’s Lok Sabha seat had been declared void by a Gujarat Court.
There was confusion among the Congress leaders to decide the next course of action.
Finally it was Priyanka Gandhi who made the suggestion to make the Karnataka election a comeback vehicle instead of doing something merely symbolic.
Let me quote a news report
“One MP said that all MPs of the party should tender a mass resignation. No final decision has been taken on this yet. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that a reply should be given to this (disqualification) through party’s victory in Karnataka polls. A Committee will be formed to take further decision on the next course of action,” sources from the meeting told news agency ANI.
Which proves my point that Priyanka Gandhi has a very sensible head on her shoulders.
Unfortunately hers is a lone voice among those surrounding the leadership in the party.
I also learn from my sources in AICC that she is not accessible to the AICC as her team does not co ordinate with them.
Which is very unfortunate.
At a time when every small effort counts to counter the obscene and gross propaganda launched by the IT Cell supported by what is called Godi media the voice of a leader like Priyanka Gandhi who has her heart among the people and the victims of atrocities anywhere in the country needs to be heard more.
But there seems to be a lobby that is out to pit Rahul vs Priyanka or Rahul vs Sonia all the time.
Which is not true and this mischief must be nipped in the bud.
