It is time for every leader, big and small, every journalist, aligned or free, and every NGO, foreign-funded or local, to suggest remedies for the Congress’ resurrection. The leaders will say what suits them most: rejig the CWC and bring me in, give this man the boot and the other a kick, but let us all remain faithful leeches. The journalists will go on a tangent, suggesting unpragmatic ideas and then join the party that gives them a ticket or makes them spokesmen to defend the very tenets they wrote against. The NGOs just want to cry hoarse and collect their funds. The real ones are working out there. But really, the only way out for the Congress is to resurrect the Gandhis. Market them and make them saleable again. For that, they will not need Dentsu, but a new breed of loyal and educated workers. A la Modi.
