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.
