Letter sent by 23 top party leaders to Sonia Gandhi. Some questions that come up on issues reportedly raised.
Whether they are united?
Some may be uncomfortable with Rahul’s style and approach, others may have felt a distance from top leadership.
Roots and causes may be different. Many of them may be well-intentioned. But they are wrong in most of their assumptions, presentation.

“Youth are losing confidence”
But the truth is that youth are very confident about Rahul. They are only losing confidence with obstructive dissenting leaders, most of whom are rootless, egoistic with deceptions, illusions on their role/ image.

“Uncertainty and drift”
It is only these leaders who are adrift. The party is not drifting except for the seasonal ups and downs in its fortunes that too against extraordinary forces of fascism.

“Call for visible, active, effective leadership”
Only leader who is visible, active, effective is the person who relinquished President’s post. Most leaders are silent, inactive Dr.Dolittles and embark on adventures rarely. If they do, it is to create a crisis or solve it.

“Collective leadership”
They praised Gandhis for their contribution as a parting gift; made a passing request for their association as part of collective leadership. They are generous to extend this gift for mass support, credibility Gandhis still enjoy for their sacrifices.

Are they representing the majority view?
Not really. They just want to portray their opinion and ideas as views of the majority. Some like Ghulam Nabi Azad, Kapil Sibal, Veerappa Moily may genuinely have fear, anxiety, disappointments in some of the issues about the party.

Some of them are trying to convert a strong chorus within the party for Rahul’s return as Congress President, as unrest against vacuum and for filling it with a non-Gandhi President. Rahul was the first to ask for it. If they could not convince other leaders it not his fault.
