Rashid Alvi Slams Congress Leadership: 'Gap Between High Command And Workers Is A Worrying Trend'

On this India Today special report, the focus is on the internal rift within the Congress party as veteran leader Rashid Alvi joins other prominent voices in flagging a lack of accessibility to the top leadership. Rashid Alvi stated, 'gap between the high command and workers,' describing it as a 'worrying trend emerging in the Congress.' The bulletin highlights that Alvi’s remarks follow similar concerns raised by Shakeel Ahmed and Shashi Tharoor, suggesting a growing disconnect between the party's high command and its grassroots workers. With crucial elections approaching in four states and one union territory, the programme explores how this communication breakdown, particularly among leaders from the minority community, could impact the party's electoral prospects. Correspondent Mosumi Singh provides insights into the 'mammoth machinery' of the opposition and the difficulty Congress leaders face in navigating the current internal structure where accessibility remains a primary grievance.
