Rahul Gandhi plays an important role to democratize the Congress

Rahul Gandhi’s organized functioning would definitely work and his good management practices would go a long way in view of the need to modernize the political functioning in the country, observe political analysts. Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has been criticized by those who are in the politics of no change and contrary to this, he has been advocating rather strongly an appropriate dynamics for the age-old inert political system in the country, according to those having keen observation of the innovative steps by Rahul Gandhi to make the Congress a party with a proper democratic structure, both at organizational and functional level, in the interest of the nation and the people.

Other political parties, just for being for the electoral system and eyeing only self-gains, have been critical about Rahul Gandhi and the so-called dynastic politics in the nation. But then, all of them seem to have failed to realize that none other than Rahul Gandhi has himself on every such occasions not only admitted that the existing political system has been bereft of what could be termed as ‘organizational democracy’, having both space and scope for appropriate people, without any tag.

And, he has been putting in all-out efforts to put a full stop to traditional structured mind-sets, as evident in his efforts for past number of years to inject new vibrancy in the frontal set-ups of the Congress.

Needless to say, today the frontal organizations of the Congress like the Youth Congress and the National students’ Union of India, have already switched gears in matters related to memberships and selection of candidates for contesting election. Unlike other parties, it is not the ‘connection within’ the party, that helps one to get nomination for either organizational posts or for contesting polls.

Thus, efforts of Rahul Gandhi to make the system within the party ‘democratic and transparent without any space for any influence from above and favours both at horizontal and vertical levels of the rank and file, have been unmatched, compared to all other political parties.
