Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (representative image)
The Congress party has faced repeated criticism, both from within and outside the party, over nepotism of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty.
Last September, after 23 Congress leaders including Ghulam Nabi Azad wrote a letter to Sonia Gandhi asking for radical changes in the party in order to improve its electoral chances, the party appointed new general secretaries to AICC, leaving out the leaders like Ghulam Nabi Azad, Ambika Soni, Moti Lal Vohra, Luzenio Falerio and Mallikarjun Kharge.
Sonia Gandhi also appointed a special committee leaving out the above leaders and also reconstituted the Congress Working Committee and the Central Election Authority of the All India Congress Committee.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
