SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Editorial
SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Congress Has To Come Out Of Its Crisis By Reinventing Its Ideas And Party A day before his assassination on January 30, 1948 Mahatma Gandhi proposed in his lastwill and testament to dissolve the Congress Party and replace it with a Lok Sevak Sanghservice organization.) He said,Congress in its present shape and form, as apropaganda vehicle and a parliamentary machine, has outlived its useIt was not as if the Mahatma wanted Congress to die. He stated, The Congress has wonpolitical freedom, but it has yet to win economic freedom, social and moral freedom. Thesefreedoms are harder than the political.”These two paragraphs reveal the Gandhian thought about the Congress party future. Hewould not have visualized the party facing its present existential crisis. But times havechanged, ideas have changed, and the country has changed since then. New forces haveemerged. Congress, too, has undergone many changes.A pan-national party like Congress certainly had its ups and downs. The latest crisis is seniorCongress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad leaving the party. He was the Muslim face of Congress. Azad had said in his blunt resignation letter to Sonia Gandhi three days ago, "Under yourstewardship since 2014 and subsequently that of Rahul Gandhi, the Congress has lost twoLok Sabha elections in a humiliating manner. It has lost 39 out of the 49 assembly electionsheld between 2014 - 2022. The party only won four state elections and was able to get into acoalition situation in six instances. Unfortunately, today, Congress is ruling in only two statesand is a very marginal coalition partner in two other states. This is what the party is today.In short, the party is at its lowest ebb today compared to when Sonia Gandhi entered politicsin 1998, brought the party to power in 2004, and ruled until 2014. The exit of Azad is morethan a wake-up call as he had been a congressman for more than five decades and hadheld several important posts, including the general secretary. PCC president, chief minister,minister at the centre holding various portfolios like Health, Parliamentary affairs, etc.Azad has been leading the rebel group of 23 for the past two years. IN 2022, some seniorleaders like Captain Amarendra Singh, Kapil Sibal, Hardik Patel, Ashwini Kumar, SunilJhakar, RPN Singh, JaiveerShergill, andKuldeepBishnoi quit the party for greenerpastures. Azad is not the first or last to leave Congress. Throughout the history of theCongress, many leaders have snapped ties with the Grand Old Party. Indira Gandhi split theparty in 1969 and made a massive success. Some, like Sharad Pawar, Mamata Banerjee,and Jagan Mohan Reddy, had succeeded and become their respective states chief ministers. Others like Jagjivan Ram and Bishnoi of the Haryana Janhit Congress had noimpact.Azad has two options- One is to align with the other regional parties like NationalConference and PDP. The other is to tie- up with the BJP. Most of those who quit Congressearlier joined the BJP. It is a wellknown fact that the BJP is looking for a strong leader inJammu and Kashmir, and Azad fits the bill. He also has a good equation with Prime MinisterNarendra Modi.The Gandhi family has to take responsibility for the present crisis. The options are few.Rahul Gandhi should quit if he is not keen on politics and let someone else lead the party.The schedule for electing the new president has been announced, and on September 19,the results will be notified. If a non-Gandhi is chosen, they would only be a rubber stamp. The family will have the remote control like Sonia Gandhi ran the show with Dr. ManmohanSingh in the driving seat for ten years during te UPA government. A non-Gandhi party chiefwould only be a loyalist.Secondly, the Congress leadership should abandon the coterie culture. A few leaders in theparty, like A.K. Antony, Digvijay Singh, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Anand Sharma, could beconsulted. Thirdly, address the concerns of the G 23 rebel group. It has already beenweakened with the many members leaving or being pacified. Fourthly, the party should fully concentrate on winning Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh,where the Congress still has some presence. Fifthly, with coalition politics gaining groundCongress should find suitable allies and work for the oppositionunity. Sixthly, as long asRahul is not leading from the front, Congress should not be adamant in - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara fielding him as the prime.

Serena Williams puts off retirement with US Open first round win Agency News:New Delhi
Serena Williams signalled she is not quite ready for retirement advancing to the second round of the U.S. Open on Monday with a scrappy 6-3 6-3 win over Danka Kovinic. The victory over the 80th ranked Kovinic, just her second this year, will be a confidence boost for Williams but the path to a record equalling 24th Grand Slam now gets treacherous.Waiting in the wings is Estonian second seed Anett Kontaveit, who breezed past Jaqueline Cristian 6-3 6-0.It was far from a vintage
performance from the 40-yearold American but it mattered not to a jam-packed Arthur Ashe Stadium as Williams’ fighting spirit remained razor sharp even if her serve and
ground strokes were not.Even with Williams far from her best the odds always appeared stacked against the 27-year-old from Montenegro.Playing in her 21st U.S. Open, Williams has never lost in the first round and her victory over Kovinic was her 106th at Flushing Meadows.While Kovinic has been enjoying the best Grand Slam season of her career reaching the third round of both the Australian and French Open, she had not won a single match since Roland Garros. But as play got underway it was Williams showing signs of nerves, piling up the double.
