Tej Pratap Yadav, the founder of the Janshakti Janta Dal, publicly backed Priyanka Gandhi as the face of the INDIA bloc, suggesting she is better equipped to lead than her brother, Rahul Gandhi. Yadav criticized Rahul's leadership, stating that his approach, including public outreach efforts, is ineffective. He compared Priyanka to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, asserting that only she can effectively lead the party. Yadav's comments come in light of recent political shifts in Bihar, including the exit of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the rise of BJP's Samrat Choudhary. This criticism of Rahul Gandhi's leadership is not isolated; former Congress leader Shakeel Ahmed has also expressed concerns about Rahul's ability to work with seasoned politicians, suggesting a lack of internal democracy within the party. Ahmed noted that decision-making has become centralized under Rahul, limiting broader consultation and sidelining experienced leaders in favor of younger, loyal figures.
