The Congress Party cannot compete with present BJP, a well-oiled, 24/7 vigilant party, with its part-time politicians that go on holidays and sabbaticals whimsically.
If congress ever wants to resurrect the party and become relevant again, the party must instead of opposing Modi or reaching out to people, must stop the growing pandemic called Raghul Gandhi in congress party.
The retaining of leaders who have been extremely loyal to the top leadership of the Congress and the Nehru-Gandhi family and the sidelining of non-compliant leaders has accentuated the Congress' problems.
P Chidambaram, Gulam Nabi Asad, Salman Khurshid, Jayaram Ramesh, Ahmed Patel, Motilal Vora etc., cannot see anyone other than the family or its members alone heading the congress.
Today congress cannot remain without JDS but JDS has its options open. If congress continues with JDS it would lose its credibility and without JDS, congress cannot contest alone in Karnataka.
What congress party needs today is a Bhima to save the party and to destroy the dynastic culture and sycophancy politics that is growing within the congress party like Bakasura.
