NEW DELHI - Honest, intelligent and open to new ideas is how officials of India’s main opposition Congress describe their leader, Rahul Gandhi, but the party’s election performance has been so poor he now risks losing even his family’s traditional seat.
“If they want to change anything, change the leadership,” said a Congress official in Rajasthan, referring to the old guard around Gandhi. “You need to give young people a chance.” But Congress’s continued slide has raised questions both about its future and the role of his family. Congress also proved unable to effectively parry Modi’s campaign emphasis on national security, after aerial clashes and heightened tension with arch rival Pakistan following a suicide attack in disputed Kashmir that killed 40 Indian policemen.
The campaign was substantially delayed because of disagreements between 66-year-old Anand Sharma and other senior leaders, two party officials said. In Rajasthan, which Congress won last year, its choice of 68-year-old Ashok Gehlot as chief minister, instead of 41-year-old Sachin Pilot, backfired, losing it the support of a key caste grouping, the official said, leaving the BJP likely to sweep all 25 seats.Gandhi was encircled by a “college of sycophants”, said a former Congress official who joined a rival bloc this year.
