Why though? Sure Scindia and Pilot are educated and presentable. But the only reason they are there is because they are sons of MPs. They are as much a symbol of dynastic politics as RaGa is. And all these competent leaders like Scindia, Pilot or even Shashi Tharoor stood by Congress, when they did all sorts of scams and unconstitutional things back during UPA-2. Congress has deeper problems, RaGa is mostly a result of it.
I was talking in comparison to RaGa. Sachin,Scindia, Deora all are part of dynastic politics but atleast they have capability of taking responsibilities more than RaGa who neither has a personality nor is grown enough to be the president of his party, let alone the PM of the country. I don't see any outsider coming over to Congress in the near future. It is going to be among the nepo kids only so why don't they choose someone who is better than Raga to be a face of the party? I feel the distrust people have on the current congress will come down if it's someone else than RaGa.
@bold- But that's true for every party right? People still support their favourite despite their wrongdoings or involvement of scams. I don't think people care about that much. Otherwise someone like Pragya Thakur wouldn't have been leading now.
Congress might have deeper problems but I strongly feel the country's disapproval of the party is because of RaGa more than anything else.
