Congress election The Congress is the only party that has an independent election authority.It also the only party that conducts democratic elections for its President. It is in complete contrast to BJP which is visible remote controlled. It is being called one and half man party structure. The press and electronic media is going out all guns blazing calling it a Dynastic parry. INDIRA gandhi had formed a separate party and old Congress factions merged with Indira Congress as they could not survive. Outside Ghandis influence The President in Congress has to consult other members and cannot enforce authoritian rule. THE wisdom of out going Presidents and senior members for thei experience and wisdom has to be considered . THE BJP for a while has succeeded in labeling it as a Dynastic party. It is for the members of the party to choose and elect whom ever they consider and it is not the business of other political parties. THE media too is favouring the BJP line of attack as it is flogging a dead horse wanting to be seen as toying the BJP malicious campaign . The party has cleared that there is no official, unofficial candidate and Ghandhis have opted out in spite of popular support BJP certificate that it is fake exercise and a sham must put their house in order first It is absolutely right of delegates to elect and the forum was open to anyone to contest like Shasi Tharoor Tharoor may be good orator but he carries a baggage of personal creditabilty of character for his role in his wife's death and image of a playboy In stead of playing victim of no level playing field let him stand on his ability to convince delegates and stick to dharma of collective decisions by majority The elections are taking the wind our of the sails of BJP contention of dynasty flogging
