(Priyanka Gupta, Intern Journalist)New Delhi: Inside Congress, the internal political turmoil is intensifying. The old Congress cadres have also taken up the front against the Rahul Brigade who attacked the UPA era citing flaws. In front of Rahul Brigade, along with Manish Tewari, leaders like Shashi Tharoor and Milind Deora have also come. At the same time, Rajiv Satav, the vocal face of the young brigade, has also given the message of staying strong in the battle of old age vs new generation through Shayari.
Internal infighting taking serious turn
From the change in the present form of the Congress organization to the direction set for the future, it is clear that the party’s pride is taking a very serious turn. The party is torn apart by Rahul’s activity to side with the old leaders with the plea to make the organization energetic and combative. Shashi Tharoor and Milind Deora’s voice in the vocal voice of Manish Tiwari against the UPA’s legacy of slinging mud from within the party proves this.
Tiwari opened front on second day too
Continuing to raise the question of analyzing the defeat in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, not only in the year 2014, but senior party leader Manish Tiwari tweeted on Saturday, on slamming the UPA government from within the Congress. Tiwari said, ‘BJP was out of power for 10 years till 2004-14. He has not blamed Vajpayee or his government for this even once in these years, but it is unfortunate that some superficial people within the Congress are questioning the UPA government led by Manmohan Singh instead of fighting the BJP-NDA.
Congress between youth vs elderly mobilization
Tiwari’s statement is clearly a direct attack on the youth brigade led by Team Rahul. At a meeting of the party’s Rajya Sabha MPs headed by Sonia Gandhi on Thursday, the young brigade had raised questions on the UPA round for the Congress’s plight, when leaders like AK Antony, Kapil Sibal, Anand Sharma, and P. Chidambaram disagreed. Many senior leaders had said that trying to run the party with the thinking of youth versus old age would be dangerous and the political path of the Congress would be made only through reconciliation.
Milind Deora landed in support of Tiwari
The last part of Tiwari’s tweet, ‘When solidarity is needed, they are sharing’, is also directly targeting Team Rahul. Milind Deora, who has been vocal and part of Team Rahul for some time on the current working style of the Congress, also said that Manish Tiwari has said the right thing. He said that Dr. Manmohan Singh left power in 2014 when he said that history would be lenient with him, but would he have imagined that only the people of his party would reject his services to the country in his presence.
Shashi Tharoor also opened front
Shashi Tharoor also supported Tiwari and Deora by tweeting in the party’s arrogance. At the same time, it said that UPA’s transformative ten years were maliciously inspired by malicious propaganda. Tharoor said that with a lot to learn from his defeat, a lot needs to be done to revive the Congress but it cannot be done by becoming a toy in the hands of its ideological enemies.
Young brigade is also ready for face-off
It is clear from the leaders being vocal against questioning the UPA legacy that the road to the young brigade trying to create a roadmap for Rahul Gandhi’s return as Congress President is not easy. However, Satav also wrote a poem “मत पूछ मेरे सब्र क इन्तेहा कहां तक है, तूं सितम कर ले, तेरी ताकत जहां तक है, वफा की उम्मीद जिन्हें होगी, उन्हें होगी, हमें तो देखना है, तू जालिम कहां तक है” through which he gave a clear message that Rahul’s young brigade is also ready to go through this internal arrogance.
