Congress needs to be saved from Congressmen

How can a national party with 100+ years of history , great credentials in terms of contributing to India freedom's struggle be led by a person whose only claim to fame is he is his mother's son? The mother, in turn, is there only because of her husband.

Editor's note: This comment was published by N, left on the article Hard lesson of the assembly elections : How the Congress can stop Narendra Modi, published earlier today. The comment has only been edited for grammar and spelling.The problem with Congress is Congressmen. Unless Congress ends its dynasty politics and brings in some element of internal democracy where capability to govern is rated higher than allegiance to dynasty, Congress seems to be on path of self destruction. How can a national party with 100+ years of history , great credentials in terms of contributing to India freedom's struggle be led by a person whose only claim to fame is he is his mother's son? The mother, in turn, is there only because of her husband. I mean, this is ridiculous.[caption id="attachment_1274243" align="alignleft" width="300"]PTI PTI[/caption]It will be a tragedy if the institution of Congress is allowed to die.The long term danger of allowing the Congress to die is then the BJP will not have a strong pan-India opposition party which may lead to dictatorial tendencies of the BJP and also further strengthening of regional parties with thier own myopic interest ( remember Teesta water/SriLanks policy) .Congress needs to be saved from Congressmen. A new Kamaraj Plan is the need of the hour. Purge all Congressmen from Congress and rebuild it bottoms up.But who will do it? That is the question.
