Open Letter To Rahul Gandhi

 Respected Sir,

 

Karnataka State Assembly election results have shown that BJP can be given a devastating defeat. We had written two open letters addressed to you dated 11.06.2017 and 23.03.2023.  We repeat what we had written two months back.

 

Presently the political environment in India needs an extraordinary sacrifice from you for a much higher calling i.e. to publicly announce:

 

·        that you would not be the Indian National Congress candidate for Prime Ministership,

·        that you would spend all your energies till 2024 General Elections to try getting opposition parties to fight elections unitedly; that this united opposition will pitch only one candidate against the ruling party’s official aspirant in all constituencies of the country,

·        that a broad based committee having representatives from each of the political parties – howsoever small – would oversee that this process is set in motion and reaches its mandated conclusion, and

·        that the Indian National Congress party will exhibit an attitude which makes it clear that it is not bigger than any of the constituents of this united opposition.

 

This would ensure that any political leader with experience could aspire to become the Prime Minister of India – both from within the Indian National Congress Party or any opposition party were the united coalition to win in the 2024 General Elections.

 

This strategy would ensure that all non-BJP parties would unite to defeat the fascist forces in power.

 

Thanks.

Yours Sincerely,

Shobha Aggarwal & P.S. Sahni
