NCP (Nationalist congress Party) boss sharad pawar portrayed the congress as a zamindar (landowner) who was all the while thinking back about past wonders. "There's a tale about UP zamindars, who 0ne had vast land and huge Havelis. After the Land Ceiling Act, their territory [holdings] shrank to 15-20 sections of land. They couldn't keep up with their Havelis. Each day, they would get up, take a gander at the land, and say 'the entirety of this used to be our own. The attitude [of the Congress] is like that. The truth must be acknowledged," Pawar said. 

The analysis, coming when there has been discussion of a unified resistance against the bjp for the 2024 lok sabha decisions, came as a shock. It was just three weeks prior that congress president sonia gandhi held a virtual gathering of 19 resistance groups to talk about such a coalition. Pawar was additionally a member. All the more significantly, Pawar's ncp imparts capacity to the congress in his home state, Maharashtra. Anyway, what incited Pawar to attack the Congress? 

The appropriate response lies in different pieces of the meeting. The maratha strongman's genuine objective was the congress authority, especially rahul Gandhi. In a similar meeting, he acknowledged that the congress is essential for an assembled resistance, likewise with its container indian presence it stays the main party that can give a public option in contrast to the BJP. What he was quietly showing was that the congress expected to introspect about its initiative and, all the more significantly, should not seek to be the main power in the proposed union of resistance groups. 

Pioneers feel that another design ought to be taken on to battle the lok sabha surveys. The congress should zero in on states where it is in the direct challenge against the bjp, while in states where there is a solid territorial party, the resistance collusion should battle under the authority of that party. For example, in West bengal, the TMC (Trinamool Congress) should lead the charge, while in Bihar, the mantle ought to be given to the RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal). 

Congress pioneers are, in any case, not excited with regards to this model and need the congress to stay the focal power of the resistance. All the more critically, rahul Gandhi's authority stays non-debatable to them. Pawar has indicated that this could be a barricade to accomplishing resistance solidarity. 

It's not simply Pawar. Different pioneers have likewise indicated about being reluctant to tolerate rahul Gandhi as the head of the resistance. However TMC boss and West bengal Chief minister Mamata Banerjee had said she does not expect driving the resistance partnership yet would fill in as a 'warrior' in the battle against the Modi-drove bjp, her party associates have straightforwardly extended her as the head of any potential enemy of bjp union. 

Rahul additionally data-faces a challenge from congress insiders, known as the G23 pioneers. These 23 chiefs kept in touch with congress president sonia gandhi in august last year, requesting an upgrade of the association and administration of the party. Thus, the test for the "landowners" of congress is to declare their authority inside the party before they look for acknowledgement among likely partners in the fight against the BJP.
