Meaning of Kanhaiya's Entry in Congress and Sidhu's Resignation
On the day the Congress was inducting well-known youth leaders like Kanhaiya Kumar and Jignesh Mevani, another prominent face of the Congress, Navjot Singh Sidhu, resigned from the post of Punjab Congress President and spoiled the celebrations for the party. It is pertinent to ask if a serious political party can expand the organization or do public good by making a non-political type of celebrity a big office-bearer.
Similarly, with Kanhaiya Kumar joining the Congress, can the Congress regain its lost support base in Bihar and Hindi-speaking areas? Can a young leader who emerged out of the campus politics make a weakened Congress party a big force in such areas without any organization and agitation and just on the strength of his stardom and catchy oratory skills?
Senior journalist Urmilesh is discussing these interesting political developments in Congress concerning Kanhaiya and Sidhu.
