Loyalists such as 92-year-old senior Congress leader Moti Lal Vora, 78-year-old Mallikarjun Kharge, 77-year-old Ambika Soni, 71-year-old Ghulam Nabi Azad, 69-year-old Luiginio Fleario have been discharged from the responsibility of the Congress organization. In his place, the Congress party has started conveying a big change in the organization by making the new loyalists the general secretary and in charge of the state. In a new message, the party is trying to give a political challenge to the BJP of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Jagat Prakash Nadda by giving important responsibility to the new young loyalists. Now it has to be seen how much punishment the new loyalists get for Congress.

Older Congress leaders get some rest from organizational work

Former defense minister AK Antony, 79, Ahmed Patel, 71, Mukul Wasnik, 60, KC Venugopal, 57, and young Randeep Surjewala, 52, have got new and powerful command. These will support Congress President Sonia Gandhi in her work. Overall, the party has given some comfort to the old Congress leaders from organizational work and some of them have given place to some fewer loyalists in their age. In this, Rahul Gandhi's favorite Randeep Surjewala has been awarded for his hard work, eloquence, and skill, while the management art of KC Venugopal has got a special place. In the team of advisers of Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Mukul Wasnik, Ambika Soni remain tall.

Rajya Sabha leader

The leaders of the party who have been relieved of the responsibility of the post of the general secretary are all Rajya Sabha leaders. Mallikarjun Kharge also lost his Lok Sabha election in 2019. Moti Lal Vora, a very elderly, has been coming to Parliament through Rajya Sabha for quite some time. Ghulam Nabi Azad, Luiginio Falerio, Ambika Soni, Mukul Wasnik are also leaders of this category. Among the leaders whose responsibility has been increased, all are Rajya Sabha members. Randeep Surjewala is not currently a member of any house of the state and central government. Interestingly, neither of the leaders who have been detained have any leader with a support base and the leaders who have been entrusted with the responsibility do not have any leader with the support base. A former party secretary says that when Congress has to run on the basis of the leaders of the Rajya Sabha, what is good and what is bad. Whatever happens, everything is fine.

Why was the change made?

There has been a big change in the party, according to a source who was once a strategist of the party and has a direct hold on Congress President Sonia Gandhi, former president Rahul Gandhi. The source says that after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and Rahul Gandhi's resignation, the party went into disarray. Congress had elected Sonia Gandhi as the interim president of the party, but the directionlessness was increasing due to Sonia's poor health. The 72-year-old Congress leader says that two things have really gone awry. First, after Rahul Gandhi became Congress President, the young leaders of his team became overly enthusiastic. This caused the senior leaders to become more discouraged and calm. But when Sonia Gandhi took charge, the old leaders came to the old form and all the young leaders felt that they have become weak. He said that I too am a victim of this, but there is no way to say that nothing good has happened in the last year. The Congress lost the Government of Madhya Pradesh due to internal reasons, the Government of Rajasthan was in trouble. So something had to happen. So that the message of working with the coordination between young and senior leaders can be given.
