Sharmistha Mukherjee, daughter of former President Pranab Mukherjee, criticizes Rahul Gandhi’s political approach, describing it as a failure to focus on the organizational strength of the Congress party. In her remarks, she argues that repeated election defeats and a lack of attention to party organization indicate problems in leadership. She frames politics as a continuous and time-intensive responsibility, saying it is a “24-hour job,” and contrasts this with what she sees as Rahul Gandhi’s “disappearing act.” Her comments center on the need for sustained organizational work within Congress rather than short-term campaigning or sporadic engagement. The criticism highlights internal debate over how Congress prepares for elections and whether its leadership prioritizes strengthening party structures. The remarks also reflect a broader concern within the party about performance in recent contests and the effectiveness of Gandhi’s strategy in addressing those challenges. No alternative plan or specific changes proposed by Rahul Gandhi were reported in the available summaries.
