The Congress on Sunday said the Bharat Jodo Yatra was not only aimed against the alleged divisive politics of the BJP, but to revive the entire party organisation from the block to the state-level in the country.AICC General Secretary in-charge of Communications Jairam Ramesh said the yatra is a “listening yatra” where concerns of the people from all walks of life would be heard by Congress leader and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi as he walks 3,570 km from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu to Jammu and Kashmir.He also hit back at the comments circulating in social media regarding Gandhi’s attire, saying “these are cheap, childish and stupid tactics of a party which is rattled and worried by the“Theiryatra”.objective is to derail us. We will not be cowed down. We will not be diverted,” Rajya Sabha MP and senior Congress leader Ramesh said while speaking at a press conference here after the first stage of the day’s yatra got over.

“But our intention is very clear. Our intention is to stop the spread of fear

A similar view was also expressed by Congress MP K C Venugopal who, while speaking at the press conference, said that comments about Gandhi’s attire indicates that the yatra has become a problem for those parties who want to destroy the Congress.

The first major loanwaiver by Janata Party government led by the then prime minister VP Singh cost the exchequer Rs 10000 crore yielding to the demands of agitating farm ers in 1990.

It is the law of Manu that would mold and set the course of Hindu Rashtra – promoting social, economic and gender inequality. The schema of caste indoctrinated by the varna sys tem and accordingly assigned duties. In the initial decades of free-independent India those who were in the lower rungs of the caste system followed the ‘duties’ dutifully. After 75 years of Independence, the ruling class wants them to follow the scheme as written in the law of Manu, but people ask their rights and want their problems to be solved. When citizens ask for their rights enshrined in Constitution, GOI wants to deflect and thus twists its narratives.GOIisnot doing any favor by giving away ‘rights’ to the people. It is the constitution that has extended the citizens the rights, which is fundamental and foundational to democracy. Let the political class do their duties – as their duty is to gov ern the citizens with justice and prudence.Duties and rights are like rails that runs parallels to one another. There should be checks and balance to the ruling class. For the citizens rights extends those protective mechanisms.

The bank employees, including the unions linked to Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh have been protest ing, occasional strikes in cluded, against the move to privatise.

Big structures, monu ments and hubs are not symbols of governance. The central vista project the government spent Rs, 20,000Wecrores.needto carefully ponder over the narrative. RSS in its vocabulary talks about ‘duty’ to the organization as well as to the nation. Since RSS by and large controlled and driven by Brahminism. Manusmiriti which is a ‘code of Manu’ is a document that compiles and organizes the code of conduct for human society. Manu smriti is a code of conduct put together by Brahmins. Brahmins are the ruling caste/class and the duty of Shudras to serve the upper varnas faithfully with devotion and without grudgingly.

Ruling class/castes have the tendency to abuse their power and authority.Wehave been witnessing the ways with which the ruling classes and the dominant cates show their power and authority over the poor and the vulner able. Once they get into the seat of power their total attitude changes. Whether the colonial masters or Indian ruling class the basic characteristics remain the same. Along with power other things automatically come. The caste system kept the Dalits and indigenous people in the same status all in the name of ‘duty’. When these categories of people raise their voices and ask for their constitutional rights and privileges the ruling class/castes gets irritated or disturbed. In a functioning democracy, citizens are the center that democracy to move on for which ‘rights’ play the crucial role. When citizens/ people contribute to GDP, GNP, development and growth, they have all the right to questions which is part and parcel of their rights. Codes of Manu and hi erarchical division of society as signing duties need to countered and totally annihilated like that of caste system.

It is a contractual obligation that works between the govern and the governed. The electoral contract underpins this obliga tion vis-à-vis duties and rights. Those who have been culturally silenced, economically marginal ized, politically side-lined and those who are pushed to the peripheries without any basic amenities for decades have all the rights to ask the government to who they exercised their fran chise. Millions of citizens live in squalid conditions without any basic amenities, unemployment and inflation – not in a position to meet both the ends.

PM Modi and his government (cabinet) are given the powers to govern the country within the framework of the Indian constitution. The governed are the people/citizens who have elected the government to discharge their duties diligent ly and fairly. At the same time the constitution has extended powers and privileges to the citizens to exercise their rights when their rights are negated or throttled. As the Indian citizenry matures it will keep raising their rights.

Although many party veterans have tried; reams even written about its free-fall and television channels discussing about what is going wrong and what needs to done so as to put it back on track; yet for the very party for which all these were meant, it continues to remain in a state of baffling delusion. When most political parties in the world are confronted with a crisis, they look at the problem from all angles and try to find solutions. Do they need to change their leaders? Should they re-examine their policies? Are they failing to get their message across etc. Even in team sports like football or cricket, when a team consistently under performs, a great deal of analysis is done and the coach gets the axe. Once the coach is axed, the team composition also undergoes an overhaul un der a new coach with strategies planned to achieve the objective. This sends a right message to all supporters and fans that factors responsible for past failures have been addressed and the fans and supporters are encouraged to continue backing their team. The mysterious thing about the Congress is that no such exercise is taking place. At a time when the Congress is in deep crisis, some likened it to being in a comatose state or in ICU; the immediate need for the party is to effect drastic changes at cru cial levels. Since 2019 the party is without a presi dent when Rahul resigned in a huff after leading his party to its second consecutive devastating defeat. After resigning, Rahul in defiance, declared that no member of his family would lead the party. Since that dramatic announcement, Rahul has neverthe less continues to operate as an extra-constitutional authority, exercising the same power he held be fore. On August 20,2020 party veterans known as G23 wrote to Sonia, demanding transparency and immediate organisational revamp through elec tions to elect a full time president. The election has been postponed thrice, from August 2020 when the sycophant-filled CWC asked the ailing Sonia Gandhi to continue as interim chief for the next six months. The polls were rescheduled for February 2021 but extended to March 2021. Then on January 22, 2022 the AICC sat and decided to complete the process by June end. The party further postponed the poll process and reset the date for September 20,2022. The poll is now scheduled on October 17. The Con gress constitution stipulates that AICC sessions are held every six months or at least once in a year. However, the last AICC session held was way back in March 2018. Some of the stalwarts left in party such as MPs Shashi Tharoor, Karti Chidambaram and Manish Tewari- have demanded ‘transparency, fairness’ in the polls and sought the printed list of 9000 delegates. While Congress needs to re-unite and reinvent itself by holding overdue elections, the party has instead gone off on a Bharat Jodo Yatra. The march, led by Rahul Gandhi and planned to span over for roughly five months, will cover more than 3,570 kilometres from Kanyakumari to Jammu and Kashmir through 12 states and two Union Ter ritories. If the Congress thinks its Jodo Yatra can reconnect it with the masses, then it’s merely an attempt to divert attention from its internal crisis whereas the party should have had a ‘Chhodo Yatra’ (or Leave the Yatra) and get back to brass-tacks.

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Once privatised, the large social wealth would be beyond the reach of the people and the government. This was the problem that the government faced most during the 1960s. If these are sold out again to similar people, many of whom are large defaulters, the coun tercyclical role of the banks would suffer the most.

The premise that pri vate sector banks are doing better is being disputed by the RBI paper. It highlights that the private banks have failed to cater to the cus tomers of the rural and semi-urban areas to date and customers from such locations are relying heav ily on PSBs for banking. It turns out that even after bank nationalisation and with more stringent regula tion of the banking system by the RBI, private banks continue to fail.
