News Track Latest Update:The choice of Margret Alva and Yashwant Sinha for the Vice-Presidential and Presidential contests, respectively, indicates the Grand Old Party’s deteriorating and diminishing clout within the Opposition. The Congress leadership had months to shortlist and negotiate with non-NDA parties about the choice of nominees for the coveted posts. But it dithered. Both Sonia and Rahul Gandhi failed to be proactive, leaving the job to the likes of Sharad Pawar, Mamata Banerjee, and Sitaram Yechury. The Congress, consisting of Mallikarjun Kharge and Jairam Ramesh, went along with Pawar and Yechury.
Alva, herself a veteran Congress leader, has been a known critic of the Gandhis. Her memoir — ‘Courage and Commitment’ — published in July 2016, has created a flutter of sorts. She had taken a few direct and indirect potshots at the Congress leadership. Sinha, coming from anti-Congress parties such as the Janata Dal and the BJP, has a long and substantive track record of opposing the Gandhis — Indira, Rajiv, Sonia, and Rahul. Alva also wrote about Congress’s connections to the AgustaWestland scam accused Christian Michel's father Wolfgang Michel.
