New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi’s stature in Congress has increased since the Lok Sabha elections. However, Congress suffered a major setback in the Haryana assembly elections. Rahul Gandhi has been active in politics since 2004. He wants to give a young look to Congress. After the defeat of Congress in Haryana, Rahul Gandhi again wants his team on his own terms. Or it can be said that he wants to replace the old leaders of the party. But will he be allowed to replace experienced leaders with young faces in Congress?

Rahul Gandhi wanted his own team from the beginning

When the command of the party was handed over to Rahul Gandhi from Sonia Gandhi, Rahul had made it clear that he wanted his own team. He wanted young faces to replace Sonia Gandhi’s advisors and team. But the old leaders opposed it and the change was not possible due to the pressure of G-23. With the electoral loss of Congress, the hold of the old leaders became stronger. Rahul Gandhi also understood that the youth will have to wait for their turn.

Young faces did not get a chance in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh too

Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh are examples of this. Rahul Gandhi wanted to give a chance to young faces in both the states. But it was not easy to sideline veterans like Kamal Nath, Digvijay Singh and Ashok Gehlot. The defeat in these states again raised the question that how long will the youth have to wait in Congress.

The same mistake was repeated in Haryana too

Recently the same mistake was repeated in Haryana too. Rahul Gandhi could not field the candidates of his choice. Bhupendra Singh Hooda dominated and Congress lost a winning election. This defeat has disappointed Rahul Gandhi and party workers.

Rahul Gandhi trying to form a team on his own terms

After this defeat, Rahul Gandhi is again trying to form a team on his own terms. But will he get a team of his choice? Will Nana Patole be given preference over senior leaders in Maharashtra? The biggest question is whether Rahul Gandhi will be adamant this time and give a chance to the people of his choice? Will young leaders like Sachin Pilot, Manikam Tagore, Jyotimani play an important role in the party? Will Congress show the courage to bring the youth forward in the party? Only time will tell. But if Rahul Gandhi succeeds in doing this, then the picture of Congress can change.
