THE MORE THINGS CHANGE...

Why is the Congress delaying announcing Kamal Nath’s name for the job of Madhya Pradesh state unit chief? It’s clear that he is best placed among the state leadership to take on Shivraj Singh Chouhan. Sources say that both Sonia and Rahul Gandhi have finally taken a decision to send him to MP. Yet they are dragging their feet at the last step—which is to formally announce his name. Though considering that the Congress is yet to announce Rahul’s elevation at party president, maybe this is not such a big deal. Makes you wonder whether the Congress has learnt any lessons after the drubbings in 2014 Lok Sabha and the recent Uttar Pradesh polls.
