High command rattled
Rahul Gandhi's comments at a dinner last week for NSUI alumni in Delhi had the party high command in a tizzy. Rahul, who moved from table to table interacting with the guests, deplored the fact that decisions in the Congress are made by just half a dozen people. Decisions should be arrived at by first consulting thousands, if not lakhs. Gandhi's remarks seemed to suggest that bodies like the Congress Election Committee and the CWC should be rendered far more representative than they are at present. However, a high command member felt that if Rahul's suggestion was implemented, it would lead to chaos.
