No party above personality cult, coterie culture

The article of DeepikaBhan - 'The Gandhi trio still calls the shots - is aimed at thrashing the Congress party. There is no need to make a big song and dance about the hold of Gandhis on the party when the same kind of personality cult is witnessed across the whole political spectrum. In BJP, nothing moves without the nod of Modi. Even small bridges and trains are to be inaugurated only by Modi. No party worth the name is holding organizational elections any more. When were the elections held in BJP last? Isn't the president of BJP a handpicked man? There is no need to single out Congress when it is the same story everywhere. If Kharge and Rahul differed on TMC, it is further proof that party is not the monopoly of Rahul Gandhi. The worthies mentioned by her for their criticism of the party carry no value of their own and matter little. Nobody heard about Keshavan, the great grandson (not even grand) of Rajaji who left the party. So is the case with AK Antony's son Anil Antony. Gulam Nabi Azad was part of the coterie culture and enjoyed plum postings till suddenly he discovered the truth. TMC had time and again proved that it is a fair weather friend. So, no tears need be shed for Rahul's stance against them. If there is any party that unabashedly symbolises personality cult, it is BJP and none else.

Sonia shouldn't retire from politics

Former Congress chief Sonia Gandhi is not retiring from politics, as was widely reported after she said was gratified that her "innings could conclude with the Bharat Jodo Yatra.""Never retired, will never retire." So Sonia Gandhi was said to have told senior party leaders in the aftermath of a flurry of speculations following her reported statement to quit politics. She put paid to all the rumours that her innings had not ended yet. A reluctant politician thrust into the world of political storm, she ably took control of party reins and led it to power and guided it from behind the scenes, though her detractors would say she pulled the strings. Her guidance is best needed for the party at a time when it is faced with the domineering rule of saffron party which scoffs at any vestige of democratic politics and secularism.

'Grateful Sonia hints at retirement.' It may not easily be digested by long standing Congress leaders. Her long years of political career have seen many ups and downs. She was very much reluctant to join politics like her husband former PM Rajiv Gandhi who also initially disobeyed his entry into politics after his mother and PM Indira Gandhi's demise. Both mother and son succumbed to the brutality. Sonia's decision taken at the 85th plenary session for bidding farewell comes at at the crucial time of strengthening the party. She could have become Prime Minister in place of Manmohan Singh, if BJP and others did not object to her candidature on the ground of her nationality.
