8:38 pm
member of the regional legislature in your daily. so got as the of us are, roger is columnist and author has written a biography of former prime minister at d. they've gotta, and in dubai we have javin and cited journalist and political commentator. welcome to the program summary. so the, the congress had a choice to make a choice between 2 key candidates, malika john cogby and chassis of the rule. how did coggan manage to secure the leadership this by the status and their huge popularity of someone like a shashi for all it took essentially we had a really interesting got this being developed in coffee and she'd better and obviously she's got it on the side of the water on a d, a d, it wasn't essentially the college leaders from across all the states. ready and definitely somebody, they, someone did copy,
8:39 pm
i got an on british many little backward products and that is later on. and thank you being part of the beach and then the dispatcher, and then he'd be our human minister during the and after that be the opposition. they've been to the guarantee of the, a huge number of party leaders and just to ask that because of the they essentially candidates had been meeting the election because in the nation were the last one. and i should say that international lead national biking, that is actually the sum of the facts of democracy, which are going to be a small part of the party that is never
8:40 pm
direction manhattan be involved. that might be, this is huge legacy one decided that we need to our done election and by and then all of these people will be working together under the guidance up the for the former president. ok, so the and so got a very is there is a consensus among the people in the party that call gay someone who has had an impeccable track record. but is he the white choice to heal the wounds, to move beyond the political divide that has undermined the national congress and potentially take the party to win the 2024 elections? yes, thank you. oh, i believe that mr. carr is signals. a huge change of the congress, you know, been after a long period. so i went outside the natural. gandhi family is becoming the president. it's not just because someone outside is becoming the president that he
8:41 pm
signals change. but he also signals change because mr. carnegie belongs to an oppressed community in india, and he also is someone who is so senior and elder of the party that he is perfectly the because it, it who could, who could build social coalitions. 1 inside the congress party and outside the congress party. i think congress party had become of gotten to a party that had been grouped by sexual practice imagination. and it had sort of remain ready ready to be limited to completely fail to counter the, the cultural nationalism of all for the b g p. it had forgotten to do so. it was only comfortable raising economic issues and you can only guide years will be placed for the congress party. but it has forgotten to better social coalitions and cultural coalition and kind of get coming in. but all, you know,
8:42 pm
signals are huge change because politics is about symbolic. and mr. colgate signals that change to a huge community outside and as seniority commands respect inside the party, as well as outside the party. and congress at this point to 5 needs to better coalitions. 1 inside and outside, and i think he's the most suited person to do so. so, i mean it's, i think it was a very, very, very good choice. and mr. power road is interesting that important, or it's not that the federal does not come on the constituency. an idea. what was the thought to us to, to see is very limited. it does to do an angle for work and mister thorough does not bring to the table. the. ready expedience of mister car gates, who came into politics at the end of the sixty's, has been a legislator from early seventy's and has risen from be from the bottom. you know,
8:43 pm
from the grassroots level, bought mr. tuttle in the in an a piece that i wrote for the times of india. i did say that both of them i made, but the circumstances in which the 2 of them grew the circumstances in which both of them sort of got them so that you created a completely different and therefore the signal a very, very different things to do, audiences and again, the next week, and that's your right. so i think most of and also the one final point was so how did you also accommodate, you know, who gone the, he creates a space for them by being a senior member of the congress. mister todd or what have done, i have. i think he's a wide range of issues that i would like to talk to you about allow me to go now to jovial, because we're trying here to unpack exactly what is happening of the national congress. do you see the internal elections as a genuine attempt to try to redefine reinvent the national congress or more of a an act which has been orchestrated by the by the gun the
8:44 pm
family to continue its political cloud over the party? look, there is absolutely no denying to dispose must be elections or much needed and have been largely free and fair. but if the question is whether mister total for them is the car to get under, mister carnegie, congress is ready and all about ready to face the challenges at the jewelry still out on it. that is absolutely no denying the credentials. and what mr. carnegie bench with the table, your decades of experience, legislative and in government. but he is not an agent of change. he is more, it will be more, right. he will continue the status quo his status course. he will not bring about the kind of boss based and radical changes that are required for the congress body
8:45 pm
to take that giant leap forward. it will be much of the sin. incremental changes were not due for the congress party. the agent of change would have been there since the choice was but was relative between mr. her and mr. credit. in that sense, mr. pero represents what the agent of change is. he's a man of ideas. he's articulate, he, he could have brought that to the congress party just didn't be the change of leader. it also needed a change of narrative, a change in the banner and richard for functions and it works. and i'm afraid i'm the mr. carnegie. it will be more of the same, but now that the deed is done, i take what the doctor has ordered for the congress party and the need of the artist. the knights of mister carter gave mister road or such a pilot for the good you're saying, for the general rubbish. and for all this young talent which has not been given up it's late to be allowed to plead on to be given responsibility. i then trusted, ok god, these are the fact of life as far as the congress party's concern. dan are going to
8:46 pm
walk away to the subject and, and now the term is to kind of get his date headed. has been chosen, has been elected, must be politically a bower and the god these like was their shoulder right behind him in this dusk. sorry, you must have heard of that criticism. targeting a ca give from the supporters of a sasha through basically this saying we wanted to, we were looking forward to see some optimism in the air. what we saw is the gandhi implementing the own proxy within the party. and how can you bring someone who's an octogenarian and tell the people we're looking forward to have some change? so i wouldn't go away that i still had detection, but now since the election was fund believes that this should be, it doesn't mean that it was not a lot of the idea of having
8:47 pm
a student by the end of it. so what would happen idea that somebody like this with the ministry, expedient lawsuit party, and all the lights of people like that he put out late. so that will be a new dimension, the or be honest. and i should say that a little bit, not one that has a lot of examples been strongly believed that what's most wrong with the people that eventually be i mean by the be the be not about the baptist class all being centered organizations that we got to meet the word so everyone just us be the be they want to be somebody who is boy issues and people shouldn't remember the fact that he would do all this had left but of the almost most of the people of the so called primary opposite ships and other parties to come
8:48 pm
and also what i think that somebody, they mr. coffee and just really going to pull up the part of what is being done under the immediate party with lots of suicide. be active 6 or drop on of that. i won't be because the name of july, i haven't, you know, we did what appointments back directly with the was going to be the be the cost by the shock that the bottom along with the, the lectures on the flesh in years walk away. then you will definitely help the congress a come back to bark. seems bad people miss the marshal, referring to is, has been led by a role to try to discredit and take on the a, b, b, j. p. but then i would go to saga and ask him this, this is a party,
8:49 pm
the national congress is a party that has been losing a popularity. it doesn't appear any more too large sections of the society has his own organizational structural ideological problems. what do you think chicago do to morrow to be able to fix the problems of the party face as well? what should be his top priority as we speak? not when precisely for the reason that you mentioned that the congress organization has been in the crisis. and the reason why the congress ocoee has been in a crisis is because it does allow a certain kind of an electable elite to be in control of the party. so it's been more fascinated by the economic ideas of 5 of the still bundle and things, rather than, you know, having social conditions or not trying to build cultural ideas. i've been very critical of the congress party in the last 5 years because, you know,
8:50 pm
mean they have been fighting the cultural nationalism. the bgp was very wrong to. and therefore, mister car again, being elected as the president of the party to symbolize a few change mister car towed as mentioned as the agent of change. but there is no proof that he would have dropped and change. you could have been like this truck who could have demolished apart from inside because he's he has a propensity to talk a little too much and did that have disturbed corley should inside an arrangement inside the body as well as those sites. so you need to move a huge or to, to the last electorate here to somebody who is from the operate, from unity to somebody from, from a region which has a last number of muslims. are you know me reciting that he speaks or do with the doctor the accent and you know, i mean he, he can manage a lot of things and i wanted to, as i said earlier to, there's
8:51 pm
a game of symbolic them and i guess symbolizes and signals to a larger audience than mister tunnel. so mr. bell has nothing to you. don't mean to prove that miss a thorough being an agent of change the media construct. ok. there's nothing that was done in the last 10 years, which tells us that he was a greater agent to cheat. you ought to kill it. but this is an organizational thing you need or not. so board money, all right, your to and we shall be the middle gun. these job is the car. good. ok. job. it. if this is about symbolism, we do clearly understand why the went for someone like khaki because they, they pick someone who comes from an oppressed minority to tell the people that this is a party that is willing to move forward, reinvent itself and accommodate those who don't have voices, but don't you see it as a risky move when you have someone coming from the south trying to appeal to northern states, particularly, or protest and behind which themselves, both of them contribute to something like a 120 members of the parliament. yeah,
8:52 pm
but your number, the advantage of mr. mr. carter is that he's multi lingual, most leaders from south and they are not very proficient in him be which is the privilege language. is the language in the in the back. which accounts for more than $120.00 seats. mr. carnegie pick start walk, she can, he's fluid, or he's fluent in english. she's thornton and be heaps. he can speak or which is understood and was funny, so that that will not be a problem with mr. carnegie, the problem is that the congress niche, the congress is a very old conservative party, very ponder sinners ways to resist change. not very. i've never concern and they take a very long time and judging by that time that more but the time to bring about changes that moment has passed. whether mister carnegie will be able to to have the pace filled up. mr. mr. gardner will be allowed to bring about those changes that remains to be seen, but now that mr. garcia has been,
8:53 pm
has been elected the all there is no other way but to go with him and to allow and to embark. mr. carnegie, there is no political party in india, and this includes the congress which on its own could be found to be just be there has to be a correlation of the other parties, the congress parties for prince country issue so, so he has his challenges. are that he needs to do to ensure that the camera starts winning elections and then build strong, build a strong electoral organization. and eric or la line says, which can bent together take on the beach. ok, sorry. so you need to build an organization are still going to visions of for you to be able to move forward and when the 2024 elections. but when you have 1100 bgp with b j. p with no d. and i made chart basically, constantly battering the congress thing. this is a family business. what can call you on his own? do miss. so before i get into that,
8:54 pm
i don't think that the manager that goes after the one mister cocky has been elected to see the most obvious affection, not the fact that doctor title is what the 80 will be, as i'm sure but wrong title is my own member of parliament and he can explain it to then he's be people the last 2 and a bit later after getting to obviously this particular wants to mr. newton from the from the back to that. but this a copy i've been out on this one does tend to be and you should and is also do of the change that we all want we have. so i don't think we should not, i will do that. so call me back to the be really briefly greatly if you don't
8:55 pm
mind somebody because i have 3 other issues to cover with other guests if you don't mind. okay. so what i'm saying is that the b g, b is no longer the building machines that it's supposed to be. i think only the people of the 3 up at the video. i think that will happen. and there is a huge amount of fear that as the sued by the, the even economics created the minds of people that you have the national organization be related to coming in knocking at your booster. if you're writing in the top of the lecture, the war manufacturing, the problem is the trade off to be the head of shaw that li national bank. they can stand to that. yes, there's a lot of back to work and i'm sure that we already started. all right. the next? yes. so gotta under similar conditions in 1996. the congress did exactly the
8:56 pm
same thing that picked some one else or chief sitaram chemistry and then who was evicted in just to a into an ever since. it was the matriarch sonya gandy taken the rule over the political. but it could be the same scenario. replicated again and again, because behind the scenes you have the 3 key arctic architects, sonia role and priyanka, with an absolute, massive say over the political establishment. that's right. i mean though, but the circumstances are completely different. you know, 996-2020 2. the congress itself is a very, very weak organization and they cannot afford to evict mister car, give the same manner that they bid don't be treated. c. c thought i'm case you are even though even us rouse because because you know, i mean the, the other reason is mr. carnegie is from your press community. and if you try to do to try to push him very hard. and if human not rebel as age,
8:57 pm
but then you don't mean if the signals go out, it's going to be detrimental for the congress. the congress will be over. because already, you know, the most oppressed dallas are, are, would be just be in by the 5th. and all, there are $200000000.00 in india and now hopefully a small number will cross look at the cut of you. so if you try to do anything with mr. carnegie, drastic, i think it's going to backfire to the congress. and plus, let me add this. mr. carnegie is not kissing mr. kirby is more sophisticated person . i try to get it wasn't, i'm beta, cried in the sixty's when it was not so fashionable to be in a basic right. he was trying to build a republican party of india in the head about the region at that point of time. he was part of the organization or beach center even before he joined the congress. and you should know, colgate is a staunch, well this is an extremely well good man. and he is a very, very,
8:58 pm
really sophisticated mom and he would sort of draw him that he's not a psycho fund. you know, he, he's, he's someone who thank you. thank you for spec, where he only let's see whether cogney would be able to revitalize the national congress and take the part it was 2024 cas suburbanite and so got us of arthur boucher uncovered and sorry, i really appreciate your insight. thank you. thank you. to for watching, you can see the program again any time by visiting our website a dot com for further discussion because our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a jane, se. so if you can also join the conversations with our 100 is add a jane safely from you. sure mom and the entire team here in doha. ah ah.
8:59 pm
and jumping to the street when no topic is off the table, i don't think that anybody should be borne to privilege to dinner at the end of the day. we are the subjects of little family plus one person's opinion. but what's yours? amplify your voice. the judicial system in mexico is incredibly weak and it is not just corruption where a global audience becomes a global community. the scariest part of this moment in my country is this toys for a more weapon. the st. oh, now j 0, france once had a vast empire spending several continents but by the 1940s, the french were forced to confront reality and demands for independence. in the 1st
