A party leader familiar with the matter also said that they would not go “blindly” into an alliance and cited Gandhi’s recent announcement in Telangana that the party would contest alone in the southern state.

To strengthen its position against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), as well as among Opposition parties, the Congress will launch a mass campaign on issues such as inflation, economic mismanagement due to demonetisation and faulty GST laws, communal polarisation, and delimitation in J&K, the leader said.

The Congress is no stranger to Chintan Shivirs. But for the first time, it will set time-bound steps for organisational overhaul, identify issues, and prepare action-plans — all aimed at the 2024 general elections.

meanwhile Congress chief Sonia Gandhi on Friday launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, charging that it has become clear that his mantra of ‘minimum government, maximum governance’ means keeping the country in a permanent state of polarisation, “brutalising” minorities and “threatening” political opponents.

In her inaugural address at the party’s ‘Chintan Shivir’ here, she urged delegates to deliberate with an open mind and send out a clear message of strong organisation and unity.

She said the Shivir is also an occasion to deliberate on the many challenges ahead of us and bring organisational changes.

“It is both ‘Chintan’ about national issues and meaningful ‘aatmachintan’ (self-introspection) about our party organisation,” she said.

Gandhi charged that it has become “painfully clear” what Prime Minister Modi and his colleagues really meany by their frequently used slogan of maximum governance, minimum government.

“Party for the family, by the family… do I need to say more? If a party is run by one family for many generations, then, it isn’t good for a healthy democracy… look at the political parties from Kashmir to Kanyakumari,” .

“Dynastic parties are a matter of great concern for those who want to protect the Constitution. India is headed towards a crisis.”

PM Modi’s comments come as the opposition presents a united front against the government.

“By dynastic politics, I don’t mean that more than one member of a family can’t enter politics. No… on the basis of potential, with people’s blessings, people can join politics. But if a political party – generation after generation – is run by one family, it becomes a threat for democracy,” the Prime Minister said in a sharp attack at the Gandhis.

PM said in speech

भारत एक संवैधानिक लोकतांत्रिक परंपरा है। राजनैतिक दलों का अपना एक अहम महत्व है। और राजनैतिक दल भी हमारे संविधान की भावनाओं को जन-जन तक पहुंचाने का एक प्रमुख माध्यम है। लेकिन, संविधान की भावनाओं को भी चोट पहुँची है। संविधान की एक-एक धारा को भी चोट पहुँची है। जब राजनैतिक दल अपने आप में अपना लोकतांत्रिक character खो देते हैं। जो दल स्वंय लोकतांत्रिक character खो चुके हो वो लोकतंत्र की रक्षा कैसे कर सकते हैं। आज देश में कश्मीर से कन्याकुमारी हिन्दुस्तान के हर कोने में जाइये, भारत एक ऐसे संकट की तरफ बढ़ रहा है, जो संविधान को समर्पित लोगों  के लिए चिंता का विषय है। लोकतंत्र के प्रति आस्था रखने वालों के लिए चिंता का विषय है, और वो हैं पारिवारिक पार्टियाँ, राजनैतिक दल, party for the family, party by the family, अब आगे कहने की जरुरत मुझे नहीं लगती है। कश्मीर से कन्याकुमारी सभी राजनैतिक दलों की तरफ देखिए, यह लोकतंत्र की भावानाओं के खिलाफ है। संविधान हमे जो कहता है उसके विपरीत है, और जब मैं यह कहता हूँ, कि पारिवारिक पार्टियाँ इसका मतलब मैं यह नहीं कहता हूँ, एक पारिवार में से एक से अधिक लोग राजनीति में न आए। जी नहीं, योग्यता के आधार पर, जनता के आशीर्वाद से किसी परिवार से एक से अधिक लोग राजनीति में जाएं इससे पार्टी परिवारवादी नहीं बन जाती है। लेकिन जो पार्टी पीढ़ी दर पीढ़ी एक ही परिवार चलाता रहे, पार्टी की सारी व्यवस्था परिवारों के पास रहे वो लोकतंत्र स्वस्थ लोकतंत्र के लिए संकट होता है। और आज संविधान के दिवस पर, संविधान में विश्वास करने वाले, संविधान को समझने वाले, संविधान को समर्पित सभी देशवासियों से मैं आग्रह करुँगा। देश में एक जागरुकता लाने की आवश्यकता है।

जापान में एक प्रयोग हुआ था। जापान में देखा गया कि, कुछ ही  politically family ही व्यवस्था में चल रहे हैं। तो किसी ने बीड़ा उठाया था कि वो नागरिकों को तैयार करेंगे और politically family के बाहर के लोग निर्णय प्रक्रिया में कैसे आये, और बड़ी सफलतापूर्वक तीस चालीस साल लगे लेकिन करना पड़ा। लोकतंत्र को समृद्ध करने के लिए हमे भी हमारे देश में ऐसी चीजों को और जानने की आवश्यकता है, चिंता करने की आवश्यकता है, देशवासियों को जगाने की आवश्यकता है।

We have to fight both.

Poverty of the body means a very poor standard of living where even basic needs cannot be met. There is problem in providing for water, food, health, sanitation, livelihoods, and/or education.

Gandhi said, “the world has enough to provide for everyone’s need, but not everyone’s greed.”

It is the responsibility of the rich to ensure dignity of life to the poor. Because we are only trustees of our wealth, not owners. We will have to pay for the sins of not taking care of the poor. We can’t escape.

Then, there is a 2nd type of poverty. Poverty of the mind. Here, the mind feels bankrupt without any passion to live, and engulfed with the dark clouds of depression, and anxiety. The practise of human values can clear these dark clouds and give a vision into the clear sky.

End Poverty !

Happy International Day for Eradication of Poverty (Oct 17) !
