Addressing the 84th plenary session of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) on Sunday, Congress president Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack both on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) political philosophy, touching upon subjects of jobs, education and agriculture.
With focus clearly on the upcoming 2019 General Elections, the newly-elected party chief also promised to revamp the 133-year-old organisation, as he asserted the importance and value of Congress' "ideology". Beyond the political rhetoric and sloganeering, however, there are several reasons why Rahul's speech in the party's conclave assumes significance, both for his prospects and for political equations this time next year. |
