Doubts about Prashant Kishor’s entry into the ANC continue but a closer look at the presentation made by the party’s election manifesto last year shows that many of his proposals are similar to those of G-23 party leaders, both of them. 2020 letter to Sonia Gandhi and their many public announcements from there.
G-23 leaders have been hit hard after their letter and tensions between them and the Gandhis-led leadership have been intense since then. Among the key concerns raised by G-23 leaders is “leadership uncertainty and flexibility”.
“Leadership uncertainty and instability have humiliated ANC workers and weakened the Party. There has been a erosion of the foundation of support for leaders and officials who leave the Party in many regions, ”he said in a letter, while seeking” full and effective leadership in the sector and visible, and available at AICC Headquarters and PCC “.
Kishor lists “five strategic decisions”
In his introduction, Kishor lists the “five strategic decisions” to be taken by Congress. The first is “fix the issue of leadership”. The ANC has been arguing that there is no issue of leadership in the party. Many leaders attacked the G-23 by asking the party to address the leadership issue.
To address the issue of leadership, Kishor proposes two models. The “preferred roles” are Sonia Gandhi’s succession as party president, Rahul Gandhi as parliamentary leader, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra as co-ordinator-general, non-Gandhi as acting or vice-president and Congress “former” leader as UPA chair. He says the model will have a “moderate” effect but will have a “moderate” effect.
Another model, the presentation suggests, is not Gandhi as Congress president, Sonia as UPA chair, Rahul as Parliamentary leader and Priyanka as secretary general in charge of liaison. This model, he says, will have a “high” impact. G-23 leaders also called for a “blockade of the Block, PCC delegates and members of the AICC in a transparent manner” and “the election of CWC Members in accordance with the Constitution of the Congress Party.”
The G-23 letter covers
The G-23 letter states, “In view of India’s geographical diversity and diversity, greater organizational focus and less governance have always proved to be of little use. Therefore, the practice of appointing DCC Presidents / Departmental Office Managers and cells in the AICC should be stopped from now on. The Presidents of the DCC should be appointed to the Headquarters by the Secretary-General of Incharge in conjunction with the President of the PCC. “Leaders who control the respect and acceptance of the State are not timely and when appointed as PCC Chiefs who are not given the freedom to make organizational decisions. the group “does not have a formal pan-India membership drive for the past 25 years.
G-23 leaders have indicated that Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) meetings “in recent years have been reduced to traditional address for the CPP leader and the body of references (again). They argued that it was necessary “especially now that the Party is in the Opposition Party”.
Kishor’s proposal includes
Kishor’s proposal includes the reinstatement of the Parliamentary Board with Rahul Gandhi as its head. He says the leader of the parliamentary board should be “a decisive decision to spread the word of the people inside and outside Parliament”. It says Rahul as head of the Parliamentary Party can effectively represent the voice of the people in and outside Parliament and confuse him with Modi.
Kishor pointed out that Congress has ceased to function as a democratic party. He said between 1885 and 1998 the party had 61 presidents aged 1.85 but since 1998 had two presidents over 23 years. “More than 65% of Presidents and 90% of Block Presidents have never had a meeting with the President of Congress or Org. He is the secretary, ”he said.
G-23 leaders said “Congress must be prepared to turn the existing challenge into an opportunity to lead the war.” Kshor says eight groups have the power to mobilize support for Congress: women, farmers, youth. , SC, ST, landless workers, the urban poor and the middle class.
Kishor says the need for this time is to build a new Congress that is a platform for political choice for the masses, to protect the legacy, values and values and to connect with the masses, be their voice and capture their aspirations. It gives three conditions – a party that goes to the polls on its own, with a coalition based on needs by forming a coalition that includes all parties and thirdly the party fights alone for 70 to 75 percent of the Lok Sabha seats and joining strategic alliances and parties. at rest. Kishor selects the final model, stating that the party should run alone in 358 seats in 17 provinces and in 168 seats in five provinces through strategic alliances with regional teams.
