The question of leadership in Congress is being raised
time to time. Sonia Gandhi is the working president of the party. Congress has
not got a permanent president since its second consecutive defeat in 2019
Lok Sabha elections. The party has been working with the working president for 1
year 10 months. The party has to contest the important assembly elections of
UP, Punjab, and Uttrakhand in the next 6 months. But the party is hardly ready
for it.
The pain of the party leaders is also clearly visible regarding the leadership. Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh has now expressed concern about the leadership. Earlier in August last year itself, 23 senior party leaders had written a letter demanding that the leadership issue be resolved.
Now Jairam Ramesh has expressed his pain on this issue. Jairam Ramesh is a strong leader of Congress. His words have a special meaning. He says, 'The party will have to fix the leadership.' This statement of Jairam Ramesh has come when the party is entangled in its own trap in Punjab.

Meanwhile, former party president Pratap Singh Bajwa again became vocal about Punjab. On Friday, he strongly supported Navjot Singh Sidhu. It is clear from this that the Congress leadership seems to be unable to clear the confusion of the Congress in Punjab for the time being. In such a situation, how and on what issue will the party face the opponents in the election field?
The situation in UP is no different from Punjab. Although the command of UP is in the hands of Sonia's beloved Priyanka Vadra Gandhi. Still, strong leaders like Jatin Prasad left the party. Taking a jibe at Jatin Prasad, Jairam Ramesh has said that youth like Scindia and Prasad are privileged. But even today crores of youth are working for Congress.
Jairam Ramesh said that preparations for the next general elections have to be started from now and consensus has to be reached on some issues by working with like-minded parties. But this will be possible only if the party elects a full-time president. On August 20, it will be two years since Sonia Gandhi became the working president of the party. Will the party get a permanent president in the coming days? The demand of which is being repeatedly demanded by the top leaders of the party.
