Death script unity 2019 full#
The discord among the Opposition ranks - such as Trinamool versus Congress, Trinamool versus Aam Aadmi Party, Congress versus Rashtriya Janata Dal and Priyanka Gandhi versus Akhilesh Yadav - was on full display during the recently held byelections as also in the run-up to the upcoming polls in Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa, Manipur and Uttar Pradesh. The Opposition, instead of countering it, is not helping its cause. If the non-Congress Opposition, namely, the Samajwadi Party and its allies, succeed in edging out the Yogi Adityanath regime in Uttar Pradesh, the Opposition will get ready to go for the kill.Īt one level, the story of the Opposition unity, rather disunity, is highly exaggerated and part of a hidden, politically motivated subtext that is being dished out: that the Narendra Modi government may have its weaknesses, but the Opposition is not capable of governance or that it cannot be trusted in serious matters, such as national security and economy. By early March 2022, Rahul’s managers are hoping that the Congress story would start looking brighter. The goalposts of the Kerala or Assam Assembly polls have been shifted to Punjab and Uttarakhand, two poll-bound states. Rahul Gandhi, instead of sensing the drift and sense of despondency, is still looking at the elusive electoral success to stage a comeback. But at the age of 72, Azad is trying to prove his detractors wrong and, perhaps, chalk out a course that was adopted by Sharad Pawar, Mamata Banerjee, Jagan Mohan Reddy and many others. The former J&K Chief Minister has had the tags of a ‘rootless wonder’ and a Nehru-Gandhi family loyalist. He has been holding parallel political meetings in Jammu and Kashmir. The latest to join is veteran warhorse Ghulam Nabi Azad, who has been a part of the group of dissenters, aka G23. Instead, Sonia Gandhi, 75, is continuing as the ‘interim’ AICC chief, while the list of in-house dissenters is growing. December 2021 is remarkably different from December 2017, when the Congress had put up a spirited fight in the Gujarat Assembly polls, or December 2018, when it had humbled the mighty BJP in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.Įven in December 2019, despite the near total annihilation in the Lok Sabha polls, followed by Rahul Gandhi’s resignation, there was hope that the leadership issue of the grand old party would finally get settled. As the year 2021 inches closer to an end, the story of the Congress and Opposition unity remains a non-starter.
