Can Rahul Gandhi's resignation revive the Congress Party?

About 8.3 crores new voter voted in the last Lok Sabha elections, myself being one among them. So, as far as I learnt and know about the recent past of the Congress party, I would say it would be hard.. very hard for resuscitating the party once again considering Rahul Gandhi’s resignation as well.
Rahul Gandhi has been the President of the party since quite some years, but now he finally decided to step down after his resignation letter was turned down by the working committee some months back.
The party has just lost its charms. With all those allegations of scam on several top class leaders of the party, and less or no improvement in the grass root level workers, have even deteriorated the places which were known to be the stronghold of Congress. The recent defeat of Rahul Gandhi in the hands of Smriti Irani indicates the same. There were several states where congress’s list remained null in the elections for Lok Sabha 2019.
On the other hand, what I have seen in the case of BJP is that they keep their grass root level workers happy and work towards improving the party’s situation from that very level. This helped them gain much more this time as compared to what they gained in the 2014 general elections.


Moreover, the reach of the government policies, the DBT to the beneficiaries etc. are all visible and transparent these days and this has helped BJP build a strong voter’s base in every part of the country which was thoroughly missing in the days of UPA government in the recent past.
The reach of electricity has increased manifolds and providing proper sanitation facilities to each and every needy household of the nation has help them in gaining the grounds.
With the increasing number of direct interaction programmes like Mann ki Baat and the NaMo app has helped the voice of common citizens reach everyone’s ears. Pushing towards rapid digitization of government services consequently decreasing the role of middlemen have played an important role in shifting the mindset of the younger generation.

The image of India in front of the world has changed dramatically since last some years. With PM Narendra Modi receiving several prestigious honors internationally, and consequent spending of the money in well being of the nation has helped the BJP in regaining trust of voters.

All the aforesaid things were severely lacking in the UPA government and since the nation has seen a larger paradigm shift in last some years, resignation of Rahul Gandhi will not be of much help in the present scenerio.

Plastic : A Boon with an Inherent Bane

By
Plastic, since its inception has taken each and every corner of the world by storm. We sleep while being surrounded by it and when we wake up, 80% of us check our smartphones (which of course are made mostly of plastic components) even before stepping out of the bed. While we move around in the day, we will increasingly notice the prevalence of plastic in our daily lives. Plastic has become an inevitable component within the mankind for sure, which surely would have been great only if it was devoid of some inherent difficulties and inconveniences. Plastic is a word that originally meant “pliable and easily shaped.” It recently became a name for the category of materials called polymers. The word polymer means “of many parts” and polymers are made of long chains of molecules. Brief History: In the early days, packaging and storage materials were predominantly of metals, glass or other durable materials. As time passed, there arose need of a cheaper alternative that can be ma...

It's NOT Cool, It Kills - "World No Tobacco Day" Special

By
We all had at-least once came across that pre-movie ad featuring Mukesh, who suffers and dies because of his chewing addiction. Every packet of cigarette and chewing tobacco comes with statutory warning signs, but it is indeed an unfortunate affair that India accounts for more than 12% of the world’s smokers.  Smoking cannabis has been in existence in India since 2000 B.C. Tobacco was introduced in India in 17th century and this mingled up with the existing habit of cannabis smoking. Since then, numbers of smokers and tobacco chewers in India have increased with leaps and bounds. More than 10 million people are dying each year due to tobacco related illnesses. More than 36,000 men died in the year 2012 due to oral cancer of which a major portion was due to consumption of tobacco products.  There are many factors promoting the consumption of tobacco. One among them is the film industry. They often showcase the good guys consuming tobacco products (mostly cigars). As per...
