The Indian national congress party which was in the forefront of freedom struggle was an icon for Indianism and nationalism. It once had most popular leader like nehru,strongest leader like Indiraji,most potent and honest leader like Lal Bahadur Shastri and visionary like Rajivji.These great leaders were able to steer out of trouble during cold war. Alas today the leadership has no other merit apart from the surname "Gandhi" and they are actually following the principles against Mahatma Gandhi by encouraging regionalism,promoting conversion,bringing religious reservation,promoting dynasty rule without justification.
I sincierly hope that someone within the congress stalwarts like Arjun Singh,Pranab Da,Jairam ramesh,P Chidambaram etc. challenge the validity of giving unsurpassed power to the current Congress president without any responsiblity.
A leadership change in the congress is indeed the need of the day.

first thing..Congress today is not Indian national congress!!Neharu sidelined more able leaders including M.K.Gandhi in pre-partition days!He sided with Mountbaten and declared himself the most powerful person in congress.Still Sardar patel was the person who worked more for unified India than Neharu! Secondly...Indira has great leadership qualities no doubt but even she sidelined few more talented people.Lal Bahadur shashtri was truly a great leader. Thirdly..Indira formed Congress(I) which was exclusively her family party.All others were ignroed.Chamchas & foot-lickers grew around her. Post Shastri...Jai Prakash Narayan was true leader,who could motivate millions of Indian despite all attempts by Indira to become dictator.Rajiv was not a leader but a western educated person who simply brought in computers into india.Sonia has no qualifications and that was the best time for talents within congress to come up, but she again re-captured everything. Now you guys are bound to accept Rahul as your leader.Also start preparing your children to worship Rahul's & Priyanka's Kids! You guys are born to be ruled!

Yeah!! The leadership in congress should pass on to someone other than Ghandy. Otherwise this Italian Congress with all their goons and sychopants will destroy what was once the Original Congress party. The more the stupid sonia and the rowdy rajiv open their mouth for making speeches they talk bull/crap.
