Senior Congress figure Raj CM Sharma described the party as dynastic and said its leaders are distressed after being removed from power.
Raj CM Sharma, a senior figure in the Indian National Congress, asserted that the party has become synonymous with dynastic politics. He expressed that many senior leaders are feeling a deep sense of distress after the party lost its grip on power at the centre.
The comment comes amid ongoing criticism that the Congress has relied heavily on family lineage for leadership positions, a trend observers say has eroded its mass appeal. Sharma's remarks highlight internal frustration as the party grapples with electoral setbacks.
Since the 2014 general election, the Congress has remained out of the Union government, prompting debates over its organizational structure and strategy. Sharma's statement underscores the urgency within the party to address leadership concerns and reconnect with voters.
