As a BJP supporter I must say that a strong centrist opposition is required for a healthy democracy. Congress has no clue how to counter BJP, they still remain a party of the elites, they are clueless.
@ rakesh vats - Modiji will continue blaming Nehru. that's irrelevant. We need a relevant Congress. I cannot understand why the older congress leaders sit quietly and take home their salaries. surely one of them could step up to the plate
So DMK and TMC are examples of great parties which can revive India . What a great discussion ! This is beyond ridiculous . Of course BJP has flaws . Every party in the world has flaws .
No congress has not any Andhbhakt but Chamchas and they are there since the formation of the party.It was there during MK Gandhi, anybody differing Gandhi was shown the door , example Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
These guys were rallying behind Congress for long and now they got a new bakra like Kejri and they want to rally behind either Kejri, Mamta, or Congress, it is a good confusion and it will help Modi reach 400+ in next election. Great news for the Media Moulanas like Prannoy, Sekh Moulana (Sekhar Gupta) Burqa Dutta, Guha and Poha kind of Journalists
Retirement of Gandhis won't change the situation. North India is seeped in hindutva. Are Gandhis responsible for hate politics by RSS? In fact, exit of Gandhis will completely finish off the Congress.
@OutOFTime Who is that first and perhaps the last Pappu prime minister of India who peed in his pants to conduct even a single press conference for eight years ??😁😁
One party is thriving by spreading fake news, hate speech, communal violence, religious hatred. USing social media. Gandhis are not able to counter this. That is the blunder Gandhis are doing. Also no strategy, planning, democratic party, in congress. They are relying on anti incumbency to win.
@@HeartistMurali Action speaks louder than words, But I know a person who actively holds press conference time to time, The best place in the world 'Pakistan'.
Retirement of the Gandhis will not change the prospects of the party or the artificially created and perpetuated narrative of Congress being the destroyer and BJP the creator. What needs to change is concentrated efforts from regions where there is opportunity before spreading efforts thin across the nation. Congress should not be ashamed to start from the beginning, state by state and build to becoming a national party.
@OutOFTime राजनीति में समय का बहुत महत्त्व होता है ! अगर एक चुनाव हारने के बाद कोई भी रिकवरी न हों तो वापस आना बहुत मुश्किल होता है ! कोई पार्टी चुनाव भले ही हार जाये पर संगठन और विचारधारा कमजोर नहीं होनी चाहिये ! और यही दोनों चीजें कमजोर हों गई हैं जिनपर कांग्रेस ने 20 साल से काम नहीं किया हैं !

Same way until the conscience of indian media is not put in place it's difficult for india.
Of ourse, the Rahul, priyanka r soooo deserving that no one is as deserving as them 😅 In recent UP polls, Aditi singh who joined Bjp from congress just 2 months before elections won from Raibarelli n she says that Gandhis never visit Amethi or Raibarelli n they only visit at the time of elections despite the fact that it was a bastion !!!! She even went as far as to say that when she went to the ground she clearly saw that the people were fed up with this "Gross" treatment from the gandhis n decided that now they shud vote for someone else !!!
I really hope the Gandhis will be humble enough to retire and allow others to lead the party. Past glory doesn’t guarantee future victory. I agree with Ramachandra Guha 100%

having grown up in 1960s under congress rule from Indira, one of greatest moment of joy, is seeing the frustration of this lutyen, leftist, privileged, fast depleting and disappearing group. voters are smarter and know that Modi has given them bank account, direct transfer, home building, vaccine, toilets, cylinder, now nal se jal etc. in last few years that they never got under the so called great liberal rule, that only benefitted a cabal coterie of lutyen, leftist etc. This is the moment I had waited for decades and hope indian voter will continue to vote for Modi in next election too to make India greater and reach its historical place in world
Right from the independence Congress depended on the British policy of divide and rule. Congress marketed poverty as the biggest achievement of India and that we are capable of questioning the developed world with empty stomachs. Congress divided Indian society based on caste system (without every wanting to bring the poor people (across the caste and communities) to the forefront. It did not believe in empowering them but gave them crutches when the poor people about to fall to stand on. Nehru and Gandhi allowed the members of those who chose for a separate homeland just to create vote bank and allowed to spread their ideologies all in the name of secularism. Congress cleverly created a vote bank equation to remain in power which is why it could continue as the ruling party for nearly 60 years. The rules of the game changed when European Gandhis tried to apply the same divide and rule tactic before a much more capable Modi. Modi called out the duplicity of the family which Congress party. Third rate historian like Guha thinks that he is the apostle of democracy and free thinking but would never accept a democratically elected leader. Guha and Thapar should thank their stars they continue to live in India. I can count 1000 of good things that Modi did in the last 7 years but Guha sees only the artifical communal issues created by the likes of Guhas, Thapars, NDTVS and other family fed disgruntled guys who used to get paid large sums when the family was in power. Guha should note that those goods days for these parasites have long gone. Neither India or vast majority of Indians do not need their opinion leave alone their views.
@@gautamfoujdar2736 it's okay...v have to choose between what's available! Between what u said and what Mr. Rahul keep making of himself day and night...people have chosen gas from gutter!
Ram Guha always holds the Gandhis accountable but never questions his own caste, class and Liberal elites of the essential role they played in allowing the RSS to flourish. If Guha thinks the problem is only the Gandhis, then he is even denser than I expected. It is so called intellectuals (ha!) like himself that are as bigoted and casteist as any member of the RSS. It is because of people like him that never included minorities in his elite circles and allowed the sneering and smearing to continue without reproach so that now people can be openly bigoted and racist in full comfort. I find Guha utterly smug and despicable. He is as complicit in the downfall of India’s democracy as any Gandhi if not more so.

Yes, yes it is totally true. BJP and Modi won without following Dharma. They won UP making it a Charitable State and not a Welfare State. UP can never match with any one of the Southern States. (Swalpamapyasya Dharmasya Trayate Mahato Bhayat Bhagavadgita).
Absolutely correct observation. Congress won highest seats by allowing hindus to perpetrate 1984 genocides on Sikhs and narender modi hasn't lost an elections since 2002 Gujarat riots against Muslims.
Its about who will play communal politics. It's not about gandhis, wat is the guarantee that BJP will not crib about others, other than gandhis. Point is communal politics played by BJP and systematic decimation of Democratic institutions.
Dear Wire and Karan and liberal and seculars, I want to say one thing - How much you people spread hate aganist Hindusim, Hindus, India, Non-Muslims, Hindu Culture and BJP, Hindutva and How much u do dharnas like saheen bhag and former protest and Hijab dharnas that much u are making Hindus to understand they must be united and protect their Religion and Hindu culture of India and that leads Hindus turn towards BJP. thank you for compagin for BJP
It is easy to blame the Gandhis's for the Congress Party's electroal failure. Can anyone tell what the party should do in order to capture the trust of the citizens? What are the issues they shoul stand for? There is a concerted effort to isolate the Gandhis because even if they are unpopular with the masses, still what they speak spike at the conscience of the powerful. A large part of the citizentry has unconsciously chose to live under religious capturation. Can anyone dare to compare the issues highlighted the various parties and show that the Congress Party did anything wrong. Can you imagine if Rahul Gandhi had called himself a sweet terrorist in place of Kejarival, the entire Indian would have been up in arms. Mr. Modi proudly announced that the Indian public is indebted to him for his free ration and people consider it a master stroke.
I agree . Many times if Congress try to participate in public protest people only stop them and attacks saying they are trying to take.pollitical mileage and if they don't participate people say they are not doing opposition job.i have seen this happening Congress in in big trouble of identity crisis
Problem is of leadership capability. Someone is either a leader or he is not. I believe that Rahul Gandhi falls in the later category. He is not intelligent enough to win an election on his own. After losing so many elections, he is clearly letting BJP ruin this country. He must not be in politics. He is not a leader.
Congress should face off BJP with out using word BJP as a communal party, Minority Saviour is Congress and Corruption of BJP. Should compare BJP performance on important indices like, health, economic development, Education, employment, Country defense, Neighbour relationship. on this front what the plan they are having in hand & can do better if selected by people. Right alliance with right seat sharing agreement, Rahul is best to lead Congress . 2 years are there they can fight BJP and dislodge them.
Very nicely put. Mr Guha is serious about the contry and equally if not more about the Congress. The party members especially G23 are saying this in some different words. It is a wake up call for the Great party for its revival.

Mr. Ram Guha on 2014 you are the one who support the present Government and leader. I am glad you have Highlight about Congress party and your remarks is highly appreciated. Can you day words to present Government!!!. You will never because if you do you will not able to talk about present Government. Remember they Congress ruled our country for long time. Our present Government has ruled for only 8 years and you self agrees that our country heading for disaster. Do you think by Gandhi entire family leaves Politics .Every think will change. When Gandhi was ruling country all big leaders were are they! I only see Gandhi are in the field. What do you expect from them!

We can understand the pain felt by the Lutyens cabal living under Modiji's rule. All their systematic siphoning of thousands of crores of tax payers has stopped and/ or getting stopped. So we can understand this cabal's pain. The Real 'dard' is this. The free run that these Journalists, NGOs, bureaucrats, and others had had for decades is gone now. . Welcome the New World and New Life. Now you have earn your daily bread. !!! . .
What he has said should be given a thought to all real Congress workers if they really profess love for the democracy. Surely none of the congressmen holding various positions in assemblies and Parliament would like the dynasty to leave the hold for fear of loosing their positions.
No.The party fund and assets of nearly 30,000cr on which Gandhis are sitting is main point.They don't leave that money .mr.Thapar knows better. How Thapar benifits from Gandhis is another matter .
Sir, it is difficult to accept that anybody opposing Modi or defeating Modi is better for India. The track record of the opposition is far below our expectation.
100% agree to Mr. Guha's comments. A very strong opposition, the urgent need Indian politics demand. A humble demand to the 3 Gandhi's to immediately retire and just leave the Congress to grow. They hv failed miserably in all fronts.
If one said this in 2014-15, they were branded right wing or even hindutvawadi. If one says it now in 2022, they are considered to be wise and forward looking. There is a hypocrisy among left flag bearers that needs pointing out.
well, the left has always been skeptical about rahul gandhi and was completely against rahul gandhi. Don't confuse leftists with liberals. Liberals have always liked congress not leftistss
there has always been a large anti-congress strand of the left since and even before independence, only people who would label everyone skeptical of congress or of its leadership as hindutvawadi are congress members.
BJP is on the left. We need a right wing party in India. Every single party in India is on the left economically. Anybody who thinks BJP is right wing or Congress is left has absolutely no knowledge of finance and should really not contribute to debates
If you minus communal idea, nobody in India can match Gandhi's. Guha should know that modi and rss are afraid of only gadhis, once Gandhi's are gone rss is free whatever it wants to do.
What a joke bro. Gandhis are indirectly working for bjp. They do not understand India. They studied in foreign countries. Someone should be given the charge to Excel.
I have always thought highly of the Congress and the Gandhis, but it's time to rethink. The Congress has had 7 years to turn itself around and they have not. if we do not have a super strong opposition quickly, this country will get into a bigger morass than it is already. If every citizen can see this, why not the Gandhis?

@Asif Riyaaz Complexities are at many levels and too deep. 1. Lack of Unity within opposition- No single party cspable of taking BJP head on. Evrn rejuvenated congress party won't be able to. This is so complex ! ( which is ehy it has not fructified yet ; Opposition parties are fighting with each other gor bigger space instead of fighting together ) 2. Countering BJP propaganda BJP has succeeded in its propaganda of being Nationalist party. Balakot , Article 370 move etc have sanctified such claims. Opposition parties need to work hard to show people the falseness of BJP propaganda 3. Countering Modi's image Modi has succeeded in conveying lot of people that he is not corrupt. The Rafale deal is a massive scam but Modi govt managed to fool people and Ranjan Gogoi the thrn CJI helped. There have been msny scams but opposition parties have failed to agitate enough snd gorce govt the way BJP did during CWG , 2G scams. Opposition parties need to show consistency and unanimity. When Rahul Gandhi tried his best to bring Rafale scam yo forefront other opposition parties stayed aloof. 4. Countering BJP's Communalism under the garb of Hindu Nationalism . BJP has managed to convince large number of Hindus ( not all ) that past governments mollycoddled minorities and appeased them at cost of Hindu majorities. BJP have convinced lot of them that they have managed to show Muslims their secondary status within Hindu Nationalist theme. Opposition parties are finding it hard to counter and they are afraid to stand up for Secularism for fear of angering hindu majority and consequrnt loss of hindu votes ( which is why RaGa becane Janeyudhaari and Kejriwaal started offering free Ayodhya pilgrimage and all ). Opposition parties need to be tactful becausd Secularism has become much abused word ( unfortunately). Opposition parties need to expose real divisive agenda of Sangh parivar. 5. Calling the bluff of Developement Under Modi's watch India has fallen dangerously low on all major develoepmental indices. Opposition parties have failed to highlight this. They are too lazy. This is the fight for the soul of India. It can't be fought on Twitter. Parties need to get down on the streets and connect with people and do actual ground work consistently. Occasional meal in the home of Dalit , poor people is not the solution. Parties need to work hard. BJP has strong cadre ; their leaders and workers engage with people. There are many more things that Opposition parties will have to do just to even give decent fight to BJP. Otherwise time will come when BJP will destroy parliamentary democracy. They are in fact almost done with it by making Election Commission and Judiciary subservient. Just read what Delhi Chief Justice said today ....you will get an idea how rotten has become our Judiciary. Challenges are many fold and widedpread enough. Just changing Congress leadership will not amount to anything much unless other things also happen.
Agreed. You analysis is more sensible than a so called historian Guha. But, it is equally true that Congress is responsible for its own current state. They flirted with muslims, pro hindutva forces , OBCs one after another - Making best use of them one by one. (esp. in 70s and 80s). They are paying for their mistakes now. They aided the propogation of an outdated system with no real social and economic democracy( along with a namesake political democracy)
@@dhananjaypatil3116 Congress is seen as an elitist party with no connnection with the ground level workers. They need a complete overhaul. And coming to secularism- again it was congress' own actions that made it an abused word. for ex: shah bano case and the subsequent reopening of ayodhya gates.
@@sandpeterpreeth2319 Of course , Congress is resoonsible for its own decline. Congress after enjoying power for so long jist got arrogant . Whether it was Indiraji or Rajeevji and even Soniaji they at least campaigned and had connection with masses ( although in declining fashion respectively ). Rahul Gandhi was loterally forced into politics ( he was not inyrrested for very long time ; neither he is used to work hard. Look at Modi in contrast - very next day after massive victory in 4 states he is already in Gujarat getting ready for a very crucial election there which he managed to salvage last time. Soniaji's love for her son who is a reluctant politician has done much damage to Congress. Great many capable leaders left Congress due to lacklustre leadership. Look at the way they treated Hemant Biswas and how BJP gained foothold in whole of North East by securing man like Hemant Biswas Sharma. Steadily Congress has eroded due to clueless leadership. Rahul Gandhi sided with Nautanki Siddhu against veteran leader like Capt Amrinder Singh. So yes , Congress leadership and Congress culture - their sycophancy for Gandhi familt , arrogance , disconnect from masses etc all have resulted in political vaccuumm that Modi has filled. When you put Modi next to Rahul Gandhi and his coterie suddenly Modi looks atrractive ( eventhough he is much worse ; in fact the worst PM till date ). However Modi and Sangh Parival have advanced their agenda to the point where Congress has become irrelevant or less consequential. Indians don't understand scary plan that Sangh Parivar has got for India. They plan to convert India into One party state like China but with in nature and economy like Pakistan. Under Sangh Parivar's plan India is being turned into Hindu Pakistan being ruled by One Party State of BJP. We will have worse of both China and Pakistan under BJP rule. So , now it is fight for Soul and Future of India. It is no longer fight to save Congress ( which we may have liked to save ) . Now focus has to be saving India and not Congress !!!

Most intelligent man in the world is karan thaper he only run whole world which no one can do in the world ,we are so proud that you are really heartly indian.
Surprised to see Karan come out very flat in this interview. I expected him to challenge the idea that BJP won just because of Congress’ weakness, the quality of the thinking of the masses when they vote for parties, and finally how scientific is the thought that it is Gandhis are responsible for BJP winning.
Why can't the Confress be graceful in its defeat? BJP doesn't owe its victory to Congress. It's an insult to the voters who proved to be smarter than many in Congress. If veterans in Congress are still devoted to the Gandhis, the reason is they compromised their principles, their integrity long ago.
Shri Karan had "interviewed" two "experts" recently here, who had forecasted victory for SP. He has reasons for being flat. But at least he is here. Begum Arfa Sherwani has put on her usual vanishing act after BJP victory
Karan thaper and Ram chander Guha should not give lectures while sitting in AC rooms, but should join congress or TMC or AIMIM and fight election against BJP and Modi and change the course of politics. If both of you cannot do this then stop giving hopeless lectures and both of you MUST RETIRE from giving hopeless interviews. Whosoever comes to command the congress will not be able to win the trust of masses against the selfless service of Modi and Yogi.
These two peoples cannot digest they who once enjoyed unparallel favor, fame are now being put in to dustbin and it is better they also join gandhis in retirement. IF they really worried about congress revival, democracy, constitution, human rights etc , anti authoratitism etc , let him join congress and revival congress and democracy
Why are only Hindu temples under Government control and not other religious institutions belonging to other faiths? Isn't this pseudo secularism?? Congress has nurtured this.

Totally Agreed with Ramachandra guha ji..... Now the Pathetic Conditions of the Opposition because of the inefficient Gandhis..... They are not Made for Politics...
What Mr Guha does not understand is that Congress without Gandhis is same as BJP and it can be understood well with the fact that majority of Congress people after leaving party land up in BJP & start speaking same language rather become more rabid.
Well yes... Their removal means ... Centrist becoming centre left ... And centre right.. becoming...the new centre... And obviously... Centre left going into oblivion... !

@@teemocomehome Blaming Rajiv Gandhi alone is a totally biased. He was forced to accept leadership by Congress leaders after Indira assassination. However, he introduced IT in India in late 1980s which is paying dividend now (150 USD export). He also allowed Private Engineering/Medical colleges to set up as Govt doesn't have sufficient fund to open more colleges. He was about to open the market economy after 1990s. but unfortunately, he was killed. Congress is still relevant with mixed economy policy for India. But, BJP is targeting every word of Rahul Gandhi & making fun out of it. We never know , like his father Rahul may have his own vision for India. Unfortunately, voters are not willing to give Rahul a chance.
The problem is that most senior Congresses strongly believe that the party cannot exist without Gandhis.Shinkumar said this today in no uncertain terms.
Several times in this interview Guha said that inefficiency of Gandhis lead to Modi's rise which is destructing India. You should have explore that aspect also by asking further.
Beautiful and an absolutely politically rich analysis by Mr Guha ! I would have kissed his hands, had I been in his proximity now.

Thank you Mr Guha, you are a genius; thanks to Karan Thapar ji too for extracting the most out of Mr Guha's mind- the innermost mind, so to say. Great programme indeed.
This is a brilliant interview. No doubt about that. Karan has the talent of drawing out the 'essence' from the person being interviewed. One is inclined to treat Guha's views about the Gandhi family as being extremely biased and even absurd. But Guha has a point! Today the opposition is in disarray. Sadly there is no national leader in the opposition parties, though there are some brilliant state leaders. Rahul Gandhi for all his sincerity and forthrightness has been made to appear somewhat juvenile in his responses and reactions. His way of talking reflects youthful vigour but appears to lack the maturity that comes out of long experience. It's time for Rahul to reinvent himself. Not in a photo-op kind of way. But certainly if he wants to succeed in the Indian context he must excel in oratory, eloquence, and above all in 'slow and dignified speech'. (Guha's staccato speech, with its wild gesticulations, is just the kind of way of talking that every sane man should avoid.) Sadly the media has created this image that he is a bantamweight. And Rahul has to destroy this false image. A few brilliant speeches by him can knock the stuffing out of our horrible Godi media.
As a BJP supporter I must say that a strong centrist opposition is required for a healthy democracy. Congress has no clue how to counter BJP, they still remain a party of the elites, they are clueless.

Congress is just as clueless as this so called observer telling that BJP is taking India down the hole of destruction.

She even went as far as to say that when she went to the ground she clearly saw that the people were fed up with this "Gross" treatment from the gandhis n decided that now they shud vote for someone else !!!

👍👌
Right from the independence Congress depended on the British policy of divide and rule. Congress marketed poverty as the biggest achievement of India and that we are capable of questioning the developed world with empty stomachs. Congress divided Indian society based on caste system (without every wanting to bring the poor people (across the caste and communities) to the forefront. It did not believe in empowering them but gave them crutches when the poor people about to fall to stand on. Nehru and Gandhi allowed the members of those who chose for a separate homeland just to create vote bank and allowed to spread their ideologies all in the name of secularism. Congress cleverly created a vote bank equation to remain in power which is why it could continue as the ruling party for nearly 60 years. The rules of the game changed when European Gandhis tried to apply the same divide and rule tactic before a much more capable Modi. Modi called out the duplicity of the family which Congress party. Third rate historian like Guha thinks that he is the apostle of democracy and free thinking but would never accept a democratically elected leader. Guha and Thapar should thank their stars they continue to live in India. I can count 1000 of good things that Modi did in the last 7 years but Guha sees only the artifical communal issues created by the likes of Guhas, Thapars, NDTVS and other family fed disgruntled guys who used to get paid large sums when the family was in power. Guha should note that those goods days for these parasites have long gone. Neither India or vast majority of Indians do not need their opinion leave alone their views.

Ram Guha always holds the Gandhis accountable but never questions his own caste, class and Liberal elites of the essential role they played in allowing the RSS to flourish. If Guha thinks the problem is only the Gandhis, then he is even denser than I expected. It is so called intellectuals (ha!) like himself that are as bigoted and casteist as any member of the RSS. It is because of people like him that never included minorities in his elite circles and allowed the sneering and smearing to continue without reproach so that now people can be openly bigoted and racist in full comfort. I find Guha utterly smug and despicable. He is as complicit in the downfall of India’s democracy as any Gandhi if not more so.

It is easy to blame the Gandhis's for the Congress Party's electroal failure. Can anyone tell what the party should do in order to capture the trust of the citizens? What are the issues they shoul stand for? There is a concerted effort to isolate the Gandhis because even if they are unpopular with the masses, still what they speak spike at the conscience of the powerful. A large part of the citizentry has unconsciously chose to live under religious capturation. Can anyone dare to compare the issues highlighted the various parties and show that the Congress Party did anything wrong. Can you imagine if Rahul Gandhi had called himself a sweet terrorist in place of Kejarival, the entire Indian would have been up in arms. Mr. Modi proudly announced that the Indian public is indebted to him for his free ration and people consider it a master stroke.
I agree . Many times if Congress try to participate in public protest people only stop them and attacks saying they are trying to take.pollitical mileage and if they don't participate people say they are not doing opposition job.i have seen this happening
Congress in in big trouble of identity crisis
Problem is of leadership capability. Someone is either a leader or he is not. I believe that Rahul Gandhi falls in the later category. He is not intelligent enough to win an election on his own. After losing so many elections, he is clearly letting BJP ruin this country. He must not be in politics. He is not a leader.
But they did nothing in Punjab except corruption.
"even if they are unpopular with masses" speaks volumes about who you are.
Congress should face off BJP with out using word BJP as a communal party, Minority Saviour is Congress and Corruption of BJP. Should compare BJP performance on important indices like, health, economic development, Education, employment, Country defense, Neighbour relationship. on this front what the plan they are having in hand & can do better if selected by people. Right alliance with right seat sharing agreement, Rahul is best to lead Congress . 2 years are there they can fight BJP and dislodge them.
Very nicely put. Mr Guha is serious about the contry and equally if not more about the Congress. The party members especially G23 are saying this in some different words. It is a wake up call for the Great party for its revival.

This is very serious and right. These three ghandi must give up the charge of our Congress party.
We don't expect Mr. Guha to voice the opinion RSS has propagated. Without Gandhis Congress will disintegrate. That's what RSS wants.
You are propagated now muslim league opinion 😂
@@abi-wg4jt Muslim League & RSS (Hindu Mahasabha) liked each other so much that they formed joint Governments in 3 provinces, when in 1942 all the National leadership was in Jail fighting against British during Quit India Movement. Savarkar was the first & Jinnah second who asked for partion of India. Both were puppets of British.
Karan it is good to find you not interrupting the interviewee.
Karan Thapar, you have not changed, you want to become the news always. You make sure that sensationalism prevails - those who followed you are leading the media nowadays and we can all see how polarized media and journalist have become. I don't support congress or the BJP, but journalists like you have helped me identify my corner which is against sensationalism among journalists.
Guha never liked Congrees for many years and there is no surprise in critized Gandhis, but never mention Modi and BJP communal and roll of three election Commissioners and Sureme Courts
Should have ability.
Mr Guha has gone mad.
If hd believes that by replacing Congress leadership with non Gandhi person will change things then he has no grasp of real challenges that Indian polity faces.
It is true that Congress needs total overhaul and change of leadership is one of the radical change that is required but things are not that simple.
@Asif Riyaaz
Complexities are at many levels and too deep.
1. Lack of Unity within opposition- No single party cspable of taking BJP head on. Evrn rejuvenated congress party won't be able to.
This is so complex ! ( which is ehy it has not fructified yet ; Opposition parties are fighting with each other gor bigger space instead of fighting together )
2. Countering BJP propaganda
BJP has succeeded in its propaganda of being Nationalist party. Balakot , Article 370 move etc have sanctified such claims. Opposition parties need to work hard to show people the falseness of BJP propaganda
3. Countering Modi's image
Modi has succeeded in conveying lot of people that he is not corrupt.
The Rafale deal is a massive scam but Modi govt managed to fool people and Ranjan Gogoi the thrn CJI helped. There have been msny scams but opposition parties have failed to agitate enough snd gorce govt the way BJP did during CWG , 2G scams. Opposition parties need to show consistency and unanimity.
When Rahul Gandhi tried his best to bring Rafale scam yo forefront other opposition parties stayed aloof.
4. Countering BJP's Communalism under the garb of Hindu Nationalism .
BJP has managed to convince large number of Hindus ( not all ) that past governments mollycoddled minorities and appeased them at cost of Hindu majorities. BJP have convinced lot of them that they have managed to show Muslims their secondary status within Hindu Nationalist theme. Opposition parties are finding it hard to counter and they are afraid to stand up for Secularism for fear of angering hindu majority and consequrnt loss of hindu votes ( which is why RaGa becane Janeyudhaari and Kejriwaal started offering free Ayodhya pilgrimage and all ). Opposition parties need to be tactful becausd Secularism has become much abused word ( unfortunately).
Opposition parties need to expose real divisive agenda of Sangh parivar.
5. Calling the bluff of Developement
Under Modi's watch India has fallen dangerously low on all major develoepmental indices. Opposition parties have failed to highlight this.
They are too lazy. This is the fight for the soul of India. It can't be fought on Twitter.
Parties need to get down on the streets and connect with people and do actual ground work consistently. Occasional meal in the home of Dalit , poor people is not the solution. Parties need to work hard.
BJP has strong cadre ; their leaders and workers engage with people.
There are many more things that Opposition parties will have to do just to even give decent fight to BJP.
Otherwise time will come when BJP will destroy parliamentary democracy. They are in fact almost done with it by making Election Commission and Judiciary subservient. Just read what Delhi Chief Justice said today ....you will get an idea how rotten has become our Judiciary.
Challenges are many fold and widedpread enough. Just changing Congress leadership will not amount to anything much unless other things also happen.
Agreed. You analysis is more sensible than a so called historian Guha. But, it is equally true that Congress is responsible for its own current state.
They flirted with muslims, pro hindutva forces , OBCs one after another - Making best use of them one by one. (esp. in 70s and 80s). They are paying for their mistakes now. They aided the propogation of an outdated system with no real social and economic democracy( along with a namesake political democracy)
@@dhananjaypatil3116 spot on. But the problem is that top brass of the congress is in a state of inertia.
@@dhananjaypatil3116 Congress is seen as an elitist party with no connnection with the ground level workers. They need a complete overhaul. And coming to secularism- again it was congress' own actions that made it an abused word.
for ex: shah bano case and the subsequent reopening of ayodhya gates.
@@sandpeterpreeth2319
Of course , Congress is resoonsible for its own decline. Congress after enjoying power for so long jist got arrogant . Whether it was Indiraji or Rajeevji and even Soniaji they at least campaigned and had connection with masses ( although in declining fashion respectively ). Rahul Gandhi was loterally forced into politics ( he was not inyrrested for very long time ; neither he is used to work hard. Look at Modi in contrast - very next day after massive victory in 4 states he is already in Gujarat getting ready for a very crucial election there which he managed to salvage last time.
Soniaji's love for her son who is a reluctant politician has done much damage to Congress. Great many capable leaders left Congress due to lacklustre leadership. Look at the way they treated Hemant Biswas and how BJP gained foothold in whole of North East by securing man like Hemant Biswas Sharma.
Steadily Congress has eroded due to clueless leadership. Rahul Gandhi sided with Nautanki Siddhu against veteran leader like Capt Amrinder Singh. So yes , Congress leadership and Congress culture - their sycophancy for Gandhi familt , arrogance , disconnect from masses etc all have resulted in political vaccuumm that Modi has filled. When you put Modi next to Rahul Gandhi and his coterie suddenly Modi looks atrractive ( eventhough he is much worse ; in fact the worst PM till date ).
However Modi and Sangh Parival have advanced their agenda to the point where Congress has become irrelevant or less consequential.
Indians don't understand scary plan that Sangh Parivar has got for India.
They plan to convert India into One party state like China but with in nature and economy like Pakistan.
Under Sangh Parivar's plan India is being turned into Hindu Pakistan being ruled by One Party State of BJP. We will have worse of both China and Pakistan under BJP rule.
So , now it is fight for Soul and Future of India. It is no longer fight to save Congress ( which we may have liked to save ) .
Now focus has to be saving India and not Congress !!!
No body can stop a nation from destroying itself
It is unimaginable to beleive without Gandhi's in Congress
Hahaha delusional
Huij
And therein lies the problem Safia.
They are the best bet for BJP to win.
Then be ready for Modi 3.0
Ramchandra Guha is over reacting with half baked senses - knowing fully well n aware of EVM Pre-Programming Data management - he has the cheek to say against the Honest Gandhi individuals. Historian remember-Time is of great n vital Factor in Human Life History 🙏 ! Sheela Rao Aunty 🌷🥰🌷 !!!

@@nitinjuneja2639 tu bhi to h
Surprised to see Karan come out very flat in this interview. I expected him to challenge the idea that BJP won just because of Congress’ weakness, the quality of the thinking of the masses when they vote for parties, and finally how scientific is the thought that it is Gandhis are responsible for BJP winning.
Or mention the media his own profession.
Why can't the Confress be graceful in its defeat? BJP doesn't owe its victory to Congress. It's an insult to the voters who proved to be smarter than many in Congress. If veterans in Congress are still devoted to the Gandhis, the reason is they compromised their principles, their integrity long ago.
Shri Karan had "interviewed" two "experts" recently here, who had forecasted victory for SP. He has reasons for being flat. But at least he is here. Begum Arfa Sherwani has put on her usual vanishing act after BJP victory
What Mr. Guha means to Convey is that The Gandhis have Colluded with Modi. They Assume that After Modi...Gandhis will be Back in Power.
Karan thaper and Ram chander Guha should not give lectures while sitting in AC rooms, but should join congress or TMC or AIMIM and fight election against BJP and Modi and change the course of politics. If both of you cannot do this then stop giving hopeless lectures and both of you MUST RETIRE from giving hopeless interviews. Whosoever comes to command the congress will not be able to win the trust of masses against the selfless service of Modi and Yogi.
Congress without the Nehru Gandhi family may be a necessary opposition to the ruling party.
God bless Sanatana Hindu Dharm.
Jai Bharat🕉️ Jai Hind🕉️
These two peoples cannot digest they who once enjoyed unparallel favor, fame are now being put in to dustbin and it is better they also join gandhis in retirement. IF they really worried about congress revival, democracy, constitution, human rights etc , anti authoratitism etc , let him join congress and revival congress and democracy
he wont.:(
Why are only Hindu temples under Government control and not other religious institutions belonging to other faiths? Isn't this pseudo secularism?? Congress has nurtured this.
Problem with scholars is that what others see as a way out, they view as a disaster. Sometimes baggage of scholarship becomes too heavy to bear !
Are you from Vaishya caste?
Guha Sir spoke with the passion and pain for his country.
Indeed sir, we all are looking for better education, healthcare and other world class facilities which these politician's children are enjoying in abroad
Lol u personally care only about islam and pissed at things like caa and reclaimation of heritage temples
By the way, when are Siddharth Varadarajan and Arfa Khanum swearing in, respectively, as NRI Governor and CM of UP!!??
Anything transparent or hidden, fair or unfair, clean or deceptive, just or unjust, knowingly or unknowingly takes place in planned or unplanned fashion, never goes off unpaid!

I fully agree with you Sir Guha... it's absolutely necessary at the moment...
Mr Guha can you honestly define the role of RSS during our freedom movement?
RSS Was जयचंद & गद्दार !
@@umakantsonawane4448 you were the absolute warrior 👍👍
ha ha there nothing like that exist to define. Its illusion creating by BJP and RSS.
Guhaji is totally off the mark. The senior & aged Congress leaders should know how to be grateful to Congress which make them what they are and learn to serve the party with gratitude. Its time for them to give back to the party.
And what's Rahul Gandhi credibility?
Oooh wait he is a gandhi

His criticism is very shallow not concrete
“Yesterday in AICC meeting Gandhis after deep discussion with Gandhis has shown willingness to tender their resignation to Gandhis, which was turned down by fellow Gandhis on the consent of all the Gandhis!”
Very funny 😀😀😀
Sounds like something Dr Swamy would say 😂
Totally Agreed with Ramachandra guha ji..... Now the Pathetic Conditions of the Opposition because of the inefficient Gandhis..... They are not Made for Politics...
Guha is the kind of person who's afraid of cycles. He'll vehemently defend mamatas politics while bashing BJPs.
There is an expiry date for the regime of Modi (71). If Hindutva concept of BJP continues it would have an expiry date soon.
this not hinuteva it fraud to mean hindu by bjp and modi
Mr Guha should do, what he does best, history, and keep away from politics.
What Mr Guha does not understand is that Congress without Gandhis is same as BJP and it can be understood well with the fact that majority of Congress people after leaving party land up in BJP & start speaking same language rather become more rabid.
Well yes... Their removal means ... Centrist becoming centre left ... And centre right.. becoming...the new centre... And obviously... Centre left going into oblivion... !
When he says Gandhis must go...it's taken that congress after that stick to core congress ideology, nationalist and in centre...no appeasement no hindutva...religion should b matter of personal beliefs and not political weapon...congress should b very clear on national issues...this congress comes out as confused...sometimes practicing soft hindutva, most of the times standing with antinationals, corrupt and gundas etc...so v need a party who thinks about the nation that's all...
I think it's extremely stupid to suggest that the reason for congress's decline are the gandhis, congress has been on a declin ever since 1991, ie. after Indira's death. Even if you replace the gandhis, nothing will change.
Narasimha Rao was responsible for Congress decline.
@@soundar4270 I can't really say that, it's difficult to point the finger at a single person, the catalyst definitely was Indira Gandhis death and after that the death of Rajiv, more than narsimha i would say the one responsible was Rajiv Gandhi.
@@teemocomehome Rarashima Rao allowed Babri Masjid demolition without bringing Army to site. Congress lost Muslim votes to SP in UP and Same Narasimha Rao made alliance with BSP against the advice Core committee and pushed SC/ST votes once for all to Mayawathi.
Congress depended only Forward Community and eventually Forward Community moved towards BJP.
Congress was sinking party after Rajiv Gandhi. Narasimha Rao destroyed totally in UP.
It is extremely difficult for Congress to come back in UP without community backing
@@soundar4270 Yes i agree, but as you stated...it started because of Rajiv Gandhi and eventually worsened under Narshimha Rao. Rajiv gandhi should have never become the prime minister, he was unqualified and lacked experience, and was very much a puppet to the more experienced party members, it's a pity.
@@teemocomehome Blaming Rajiv Gandhi alone is a totally biased.
He was forced to accept leadership by Congress leaders after Indira assassination.
However, he introduced IT in India in late 1980s which is paying dividend now (150 USD export).
He also allowed Private Engineering/Medical colleges to set up as Govt doesn't have sufficient fund to open more colleges.
He was about to open the market economy after 1990s. but unfortunately, he was killed.
Congress is still relevant with mixed economy policy for India.
But, BJP is targeting every word of Rahul Gandhi & making fun out of it.
We never know , like his father Rahul may have his own vision for India.
Unfortunately, voters are not willing to give Rahul a chance.
I agree with Guha, Kapil Sibbal said it now finally
The entire Congress should be dismantled as it has only been anti-Bharat
The problem is that most senior Congresses strongly believe that the party cannot exist without Gandhis.Shinkumar said this today in no uncertain terms.
Don't forget post poll violence in bengal.At that time they are all silent.Big hypocrite!
Several times in this interview Guha said that inefficiency of Gandhis lead to Modi's rise which is destructing India. You should have explore that aspect also by asking further.
Beautiful and an absolutely politically rich analysis by Mr Guha ! I would have kissed his hands, had I been in his proximity now. I don't think there can be an analysis of the dire state which the Congress party is in today under the pathetic leadership of the Gandhi family, more threadbare than what Mr Guha has done here. Thank you Mr Guha, you are a genius; thanks to Karan Thapar ji too for extracting the most out of Mr Guha's mind- the innermost mind, so to say. Great programme indeed.
Hahahaha.... Kissing his HAas...? Lol
This is a brilliant interview. No doubt about that. Karan has the talent of drawing out the 'essence' from the person being interviewed. One is inclined to treat Guha's views about the Gandhi family as being extremely biased and even absurd. But Guha has a point!
Today the opposition is in disarray. Sadly there is no national leader in the opposition parties, though there are some brilliant state leaders.
Rahul Gandhi for all his sincerity and forthrightness has been made to appear somewhat juvenile in his responses and reactions. His way of talking reflects youthful vigour but appears to lack the maturity that comes out of long experience.
It's time for Rahul to reinvent himself. Not in a photo-op kind of way. But certainly if he wants to succeed in the Indian context he must excel in oratory, eloquence, and above all in 'slow and dignified speech'. (Guha's staccato speech, with its wild gesticulations, is just the kind of way of talking that every sane man should avoid.)
Sadly the media has created this image that he is a bantamweight. And Rahul has to destroy this false image. A few brilliant speeches by him can knock the stuffing out of our horrible Godi media.
He has one theory and he repeats it again again ..absolutely deranged character.
Why is he interviewed at all? The days of "camelot" in Lutyens are in the past!
