Three MPs of Gandhi family are currently in Parliament. But it is surprising that the family did not take the opportunity to surround the government on the Waqf Board seriously. On this important subject of the country, not a single member became the voice of Muslims of the country in Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha. This is a matter of great shame for the Congress in two ways. First, the Gandhi family kept themselves separate from an important matter in the country. Second, when parties called themselves secular protested in Parliament with full force, this family shut down their mouths.
But it is not that the Congress did not oppose the Waqf Board Amendment Act. Congress spokespersons tore their throat and joining the debate at TV challenges. Congress MPs voted in both houses against the bill. All the Muslim MPs of the Congress made every effort to surround the government with their arguments. The speech of Imran Pratapgarhi has also gone viral. But the big leaders of the Congress did not open their face in this regard in Parliament. Speaking on the Waqf Board Amendment Act, in a meeting of the Congress, Sonia Gandhi said that the government has forcibly passed this bill. But the question arises that when the big leaders of the Congress did not bother to speak on the Waqf Bill, then why are they blaming the government? Did the Congress want to stop the Waqf Board Amendment Bill on the basis of its tail leaders?
The question also arises that whether it should be assumed that the policies of the Congress are changing with minorities? Or the Congress is making a new strategy to beat the BJP. There is definitely something or else the Congress does not go to this important subject like this. Let us see what can be the reason behind losing this important opportunity of Gandhi family?
1-Congress working on new strategy to defeat 1-BJP
There can be no two opinions in this that the Congress is working on the new strategy of defeating BJP nowadays. As part of this strategy, the party contested the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi and contested the election. It is very expected that in Bihar too, the party contested elections only after separating from RJD. The party has understood that until we get our old vote bank again, the party cannot be good. In Bihar too, the way the Congress has avoided RJD in the last few days, it is part of the same strategy. This is the reason for distance from the parties of India faction in Delhi and Bihar because both Aam Aadmi Party or RJD parties continue to give knowledge to the Congress in these states by occupying the vote bank of the Congress. The Congress has thought that until the parties who have occupied their vote banks in the states of Delhi, UP, Bihar etc. are not abolished.
Similarly, the Congress feels that it is difficult to defeat the BJP until the Congress is able to bring the vote of the upper caste Hindus, especially the Brahmins, again. Thinking this, the Congress opposed the Waqf Bill but did not do it at a big level. By the day of appearing in the Waqf Bill Parliament, the Congress’s official tweeter handle or Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and Mallikarjun Khadge’s handle were absolutely quiet about this bill. Rahul Gandhi expresses his concern on all the subjects around the world, but does not say anything on the Waqf bill. However, on the day the bill was introduced, he has definitely made a tweet in this regard. Otherwise the entire Gandhi family was either not understanding this bill or was deliberately keeping distance from it.
Strategy to protest like 2-CAA
The Congress has been accused of his India faction’s partner Kerala Chief Minister Pinarai Vijayan that the Congress did not oppose the CAA properly. Vijayan used to say during the Kerala assembly elections that Rahul Gandhi did not speak once during his Nyaya Yatra. Vijayan said that the way the Kerala government made a proposal against the CAA from the assembly, the Congress governments of Rajasthan-Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh did not make that kind of proposal.
Vijayan’s talk was in power. The Congress never opposed the CAA by going to the level as West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the then Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal. In the same way, the way Akhilesh Yadav and Mamta Banerjee are opposing the Waqf Board Amendment Bill today, the kind of opposition was not done by the big leaders of the Congress. Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi are not even a matter of participating in the debate in Parliament. These people did not oppose the Waqf Board amendment even with their Twitter handle or other methods. It is so strange that when it is talking about the Waqf Bill in the country, Sonia Gandhi is writing ortical on education. Rahul Gandhi is seeing the tariff torture of China and Trump. Priyanka Gandhi is seen dying in Gaza.
3-Congress has been confused for a long time on important issues
The Congress has been accused that decisions are not taken soon on important issues. Due to the sluggish attitude of the Congress regarding the India alliance, Nitish Kumar had come to separate. The lack of which could not be completed till date. Along with the Samajwadi Party in UP for seat sharing, there has been a lot of excitement with TMC in West Bengal. The party has also been in a lot of uproar with Arvind Kejriwal. What to do about Amarinder Singh during the assembly elections in Punjab, by the time the Gandhi family thought, a lot of water was washed away from the Ganges. The Congress had a similar attitude towards Arvind Kejriwal. The Congress did not invite him at the time of India Jay Nyay Yatra. Later, he also formed an alliance during Loksa elections. Similarly, on many occasions the Congress decides as long as the train is late. Perhaps something similar has happened this time. The Congress has not yet understood what to do the Waqf Board Amendment Bill.
4-Rahul- Priyanka avoids complex subject
Congress opponents say that Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi survive about a complex subject. The same is the same about the Waqf Board Amendment Act. Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka could not get time to study this bill properly. There is a possibility that both of them thought it better to distance it away from it.
