The Vicious Cycle of the Congress


Over the past many years, we have seen the shameful performance of the crippling and almost finished ‘Grand Old party’. The only thing constant has been the following pattern of events, which have become monotonous like the daily TV soaps:

1. Election announced many months in advance.
2. Pappu (Raoul) will be off for an international vacation, with zero interest in the upcoming elections.
3. Sister Bianca will then go to some poor women’s house in the election going state and come up with some senseless political slogan eg. Ladki hun, lad sakti hun.
4. Meanwhile, Pappu will come back and be a silent spectator to the aggressive rallies and preparations of the other political parties and leaders, only looking for opportunity for any blame game on Twitter.
5. Election comes, party is disastrously wiped out.
6. Senior leaders will show dissent, but will not say anything against the leadership publicly.
7. After every poll debacle, ‘Alakaman’ & working committee will announce a 'Chintan Manthan / shivir, a brainstorming session they call ‘post-mortem of results’ to introspect the reason for party’s defeat.
8. Familiar scenes of workers raising slogans to show support for Pappu to lead while the meeting is on.
9. Mummy, beta or beti will then offer to resign from their post, and entire focus will shift to who’s going to be the net party president.
10. The working committee, chaired by mummy, will then unanimously accept responsibility for the electoral loss, and not blame it on the moronic leadership.
11. The committee will then "unanimously reaffirms" its faith in Mummy’s leadership and requests her to lead from the front and address the organisational weaknesses (after all, the moolah of the 70 years of loot is with her and she’s the chief financier of the elections).
12. Mummy will then claim to take up corrective measures to "revamp and re-strengthen" the organisation and nothing will ever happen till next election comes.
13. No work is done on ground for the people and public welfare for next 5 years.

Vicious cycle repeats starting from point number 1, and will forever continue till we have a ‘Congress mukt Bharat’ or a ‘Gandhi Mukt Congress’ !!
