Rahul Gandhi continues to be the Most influential voice in the Party
Reportedly on August 10, the congress Working Committee (CWC) rejected former party boss rahul Gandhi's assertion that no person from the gandhi family be made congress president. sonia gandhi had been brought back as the congress president after rahul Gandhi's resignation in the aftermath of the 2019 lok sabha polls defeat. Apparently a linked question that has no leading answer within the congress is who can be the leader to succeed sonia gandhi as party president. Recent developments related to jyotiraditya scindia and sachin pilot only reinforce the thinking that the power in the congress flows only from the Gandhis.
Under such circumstances, no upright leader in the congress is said to be willing to be a rubber stamp for the Gandhis in the office of congress president. Many within the congress party believe that rahul gandhi has been genuinely striving to democratize the party in the past 15 years with to no avail. Some call rahul Gandhi's insistence as "silly experiment" in hushed voice.
Rahul gandhi, though he has officially dissociated himself from decision-making in the congress, continues to be the most influential voice in the party. He is said to have played a key role in shaping the party's stand on sachin Pilot's rebellion in rajasthan and earlier on how to deal with Scindia's revolt in Madhya Pradesh. Recently, he chaired a strategy meeting on the bihar assembly election slated for later this year. This leaves little scope for a non-Gandhi leader to fill the position of the congress president and maintain independence. This makes many stress that only a gandhi can continue to lead the party.
