Explained: Tharoor’s discontent & Jha’s advice, should be a wake-up call for Rahul
Amid reports of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor’s displeasure with the party, former Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha has written an open letter to Gandhi scion Rahul Gandhi. Jha while sharing this open letter on social media platform X appealed to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to focus on the party. He also stressed the need to maintain unity in the party amid reports of Shashi Tharoor’s displeasure. In his long post in English Jha also said, “I am writing to you publicly here because no one within the Congress is probably going to tell you this. So as usual, let me bell the cat. Leadership ( corporate or political or any other) is about having difficult conversations. It is about trouble-shooting. It is not about living in denial; problems have to be addressed, they cannot be wished away.”
Jha did not stop here and went ahead to advise Rahul on how to tackle BJP wherein he wrote, that the Congress must be focused on taking on the BJP, but a prerequisite for that is to first get the house in order. This cannot become an ongoing unresolved challenge for years as it paralyses the energy and drive of the Congress workers and supporters. A challenger party has to be swift, desperate, risk-taking, hungry and on a constant prowl. It cannot be business as usual, for sure.
Those watching the developments in the Congress since the past decade are aware that the grand old party is hitting its lowest in several Assembly polls and it is high time for Rahul Gandhi to ponder how to make Congress relevant. Under Rahul’s leadership, the Congress has performed poorly at the national level in the last 10 years, but there have been some successes at the state........
