Weeks before what is said to be an extreme electoral battlefield, pressure is stewing in the Congress party, with the old war horses discovering it progressively challenging to keep pace with Cong VP Rahul Gandhi's thoughts and wishes.
The disparity between two eras of Congressmen has been building over the past few months and went to the fore again on Friday when the Cabinet conceded Rahul's greatly advertised anti-corruption measures. Sources said key members are not inclined to carry the laws as they have been provided for comprehend that President Pranab Mukherjee may not be excited about signing them with no earnestness. The law ministry has recently passed on its reservation refering to the same.
"But he is still very keen," sources said alluding to Rahul. While nobody in the govt. is said to be inclined to proceed with the ordinances, the alternative of an special Cabinet meeting is continuously kept open simply in the event that Rahul demands the govt. to bend to his wishes. The stalemate over the ordinances is just the most recent appearance of a war in the grand old party, with the younger lot headed by Rahul Gandhi turning the high temperature on for the old partymen.
Not long ago, Himachal Pradesh PCC boss Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, a Rahul deputy, grumbled to the Congress high command against Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh for “arbitrarily” appointing heads of boards and corporations without taking centre’s consent.
The CM is, said to be insubordinate and made more arrangements in spite of the party high command's directions in actuality. Rahul's deputies in different states – Kerala PCC boss V M Sudheeran and Rajasthan PCC head Sachin Pilot – are as of now facing opposition from Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and previous CM Ashok Gehlot.
In another case of the friction, Rahul destroyed the ordinance on corrupt MP’s which might have guaranteed RJD boss Lalu Prasad Yadav’s escape from disqualification from the Lok Sabha. Yet he happened to grudgingly acknowledge the perspectives of senior leaders about the requirement for a cooperation with the RJD in Bihar.
Nonetheless, chinks surfaced in this manner as Rahul, it is learnt, looked the other way when LJP's Ramvilas Paswan started playing with the BJP and in the end unified with it. Paswan was said to have made frantic calls to a nearby associate of Rahul, looking for his intercession to get around Lalu Yadav and secure LJP a decent amount of seats, yet without much result.
