Ghulam Nabi Azad is Out and Many Who Remain Might Be 'Un ... (News18)

The G23 no longer consists of 23 Congress leaders. Long before Ghulam Nabi Azad put in his papers, the grouping had already begun to dwindle.

However, the possibility that they are unwittingly part of a different game altogether, is a real one. Not only is it because they belong to the Congress, but a majority of those taking part in this grouping have no electoral base and have depended on Delhi’s patronage to remain in the corridors of power. The G23 though is not made up of mass grassroots leaders who can pull off an overnight switch and retain their political capital. The G23 leaders are obviously aware of the fact that despite their grievances going unaddressed, they remain relevant factors in the Indian political scene by virtue of driving the principal Opposition party out of business. Beginning with 23 senior leaders, each of whom have been covered extensively in the media since years, the grouping has taken its sweet time to act. For example, the reactions to Ghulam Nabi Azad’s resignation, calling him unelectable and listing out what the party has “given him”, not only make them look ungracious but go on to prove Azad’s point. Moreover, every member gets a chance to play a few individual cards in the span of a few months. This has further reduced their clout, sent out a message, and given the leadership an excuse to exclusively reward loyalists. The recent years might have been disastrous for the Gandhis electorally, but on this front, it can be argued that their clever politicking has allowed them to live and fight another day. The status quo that the dissidents seek to do away with obviously is the family’s total hegemony over the party. There is a case to be made for it, considering it has been two years since the current group of dissidents came together and began functioning in a concerted manner to overturn the status quo. Interestingly, the commentary emerging from certain sections has indicated that the dissidents have been no match for the family’s machinations.
