There seems to be something very seriously wrong with the Congress Party. At a time when it should take Narendra Modi and the BJP head on on the issue of the migrant labourers and the lockdown, the party is coming up with piecemeal agitations and bit part protests.
While the BJP is holding daily online meetings at various levels and has pressed into action all its cadre in the fight against Covid, the Congress leaders are confining themselves to their homes citing lockdown and quarantine. Many leaders are not coming out of their homes even during the day time, let alone the night when curfew is in force. Interestingly, at a time when the migrant labourers are are on a long trek back to their homes, Rahul Gandhi has posted a photograph of himself on the Instagram with the funny caption - A quiet evening in the office. Shockingly, Rahul Gandhi waited for 50 days to meet migrant labourers who were walking to their native villages. What did he do for the last 50 days, ask Congress well-wishers?
The party has not drawn up plans to mobilise the people against the Modi government. It has not tried even to bring eminent citizens on its platform and build public opinion against the policies of the Modi government. If this is not failure, then what is?
