Did Sonia Gandhi behave well?
Among those nominated as rajya sabha members on behalf of the congress, chief minister sonia gandhi has chosen seniors and juniors as the best combination. The seniors are chidambaram and Jai ram Ramesh. sonia also selected Randeep Surjewala, ajay Maken, Ranjith Ranjan, wife of former mp Pappu Yadav, Imran Pratap Garhi and Pramod Tiwari. At the same time, despite much effort, Ghulam Nabi azad, one of the most prominent of the seniors, did not get the chance.
This is a good decision made by Sonia. Many in the party are happy with Sonia's decision not to nominate her for the Rajya Sabha. In fact for decades azad enjoyed unlimited powers as a congress leader. The Union minister is in charge of many states. He served as Union minister for as long as possible and soon resigned as Union minister and was nominated as chief minister when the congress came to power in Jammu and Kashmir.
This means that the rajya sabha mp is likely to be the Union minister or the chief minister of his own state. azad, who has been in power at the Center for almost three decades, is now creating a sensation by repeatedly writing letters to sonia alleging that there are many flaws in the party. azad was also responsible for the fact that the congress was strong in power in many states across the country and eventually weakened. As congress in-charge in states like tamil Nadu, West Bengal, odisha and Bihar, azad was also indirectly responsible for the party's damage in those states.
Now, at a time when the congress is at its weakest point, azad, who has been bothering sonia openly by openly urging a change of leadership, is growing increasingly dissatisfied within the party. At the same time, the campaign for azad to run for the presidency on behalf of the nda is rampant. It is a well known fact that some people have already met azad as narendra Modi's envoys. In this context, everyone's suspicions about azad are growing. That is why sonia also distanced herself from the Rajya Sabha.
