Blame it on Thyself;INC







Political anlyst are ready with reasons of failure of Congress to do well in the “semi-finale”. Much will written about failures of Congress leadership to react early.Certainely the INC has been at most reactive and even those reactions have been knee-jerk.

Why no second line of leadership  was developed in Delhi. The long incumbancy factor certainly takes a tool. If this was not thought of earlier, it speaks of the mindset of political think tank  of the party . after 2008 development  of a young leader  was necessary with power trandefer in mid 2011. It was thought of in MP but the reginal staraps delyed it.The advent of youth leader was too late. In Chattisgarh pacifying of Jogi was too late. After the death of  Patel and Karma,Jogi was the only chioce left.The congress think tank thought otherwise. Recent polls have shown that alternates happen in Rajasthan so why not try with a younger face.

The bigger problem however lies underneath.The political think tank is blank.The leaders who work as strategist are no match for Fotedars,Bhagats or Dhawans. The vaccum is more obivious on TV debates.With due respect to these poltical think tank leaders, they are only reactionaries.The political intrigues don’t require much vision and self rightoues.Much of the Congress think tank overrate themselves as visionarys or anlysts.Need of the the hour is pre empting political scenarios and have plans ready. The Congress has itself to blame.Ostrich Syndrome,Red Tapism,vaccum of political analysis,preparedness,inability to infuse youth and the most important ability to remove elitism of thought.


BJP on the other hand can be accused of thinking the same at National level.The benefit it has is mass based regional leaders ,who have creted a niche for themslves.The four chief mainisters that it has today excluding Modi are capable enough in political manovures.The harping by BJP of “Modi’ factor is hallonification at best.
