Sonia Gandhi , bharat ki bahu , the widower of rajiv gandhi , the daughter in law of Indira gandhi , the savior of congress , the mother of rahul gandhi , the chairperson of upa and most importantly ,the high command of congress. Sonia gandhi has created new records though officially it would be announced today. The record is about becoming chief of congress for fourth successive time. She did beat , guess who?. Yes she did best her mother in law ,Indira gandhi and charismatic jawaharlal nehru to create new record.
To be fair with sonia gandhi , she revived the congress and congress has really prospered while sonia gandhi has been in control. Wining back to back elections is testimony of the same. After all in democracy elections are barometer of whom people support and people of India have chosen congress and its allies twice now.
Another ten years would mark the century of nehru-gandhi family in Indian politics. Congress must celebrate this like godrej’s 100 yeas in business or tatas or birlas. Coming to hundred years , well there is no doubt that this family has had its contribution in building India . Be it be nehru who build foundation of institutions and industrial foundations , developing vision of India and laying foundation of secularism or be it be Indira gandhi who is still considered to be best prime minister that India had till date or be it be rajiv gandhi ,whose zeal of taking India into 21st century paved way for modern India. This family has had immense contribution towards development and evolution of modern India and none can discard that.
Having said that if we have to give credit to singular family for various steps they took for making India what it is , in same way what ever negative aspects we see in India today ,blame must also go to this family. It cannot be blame it on others system which unfortunately congress has formed an habit since times of Indira when credit always goes to gandhi family and blame is either collective responsibility or right wing.
What ever we face today be it be highly corrupted system or naxals or kashmir or terrorism , since nehru-gandhi family in name of congress ruled since 63 years barring a period of gujrals,chandrashekars , vp singhs , deve gowdas and atal bihari vajpayee , the state of country is directly in proportional to actions taken by this family.
As congress prepared for formality of electing its president ,BJP took a dig on congress asking sonia gandhi to sacrifice her post and give some one else a chance. Congress hit back and jayanti natrajan in debate on cnn-ibn stated that since sonia has delivered ,she should remain president of congress. On periphery it looks simple. Whom congress party decides to make their president is non of bjp’s business and as sonia’s performance has been good ,it seems fair but on larger issue there is a problem. Because of this one family dedication , we see so many small parties having emerged. The regional parties could grow because this one family needed to be protected and no strong regional ambitious leader could be allowed to grow unless high command feels secured about it!!!!!!!!!. Congress being oldest in the country ,it also is standard . So this one family loyality bug has hit other parties too barring communist and BJP. We have abdullah ,saeeds in kashmir , mulayam,akhilesh in sp , baltackeray-uddav in shiv sena , karuna nidhi-stalin in dmk , sharad pawar-supriya in ncp and so on.
When rajdeep sardesai said that 200 families are controlling Indian politics ,he was dead right and we are slowly getting back to pre british days when 500-700 families controlled India . They were called kings while sonia gandhi is called president of congress , mulayam is called netaji and so on. Tags have changed but system is slowly getting back to king-queen thing, unfortunately.
Ironically Jawahar Lal nehru was prime opposer of family based business in politics and little did he know that congress = Sonia Gandhi + Rahul Gandhi + Rajiv Gandhi + Indira Gandhi + Nehru + Motilal Nehru.
Anyways till congress wins election ,they have a point that people dont mind one family thing and so all is well..
