the party that devised the RTI to fight corruption was called the most corrupt party. Such was the power of the propaganda that to align with Congress was seen to be blasphemous. The challenge was to get out of this tunnel, make the Congress credible and rebrand it as a party of the future. I won't say that Rahul has been completely successful, but serious attempts had been made to ideologically re-invent itself.The Congress session this weekend showcased all the gains of the recent past. If Sonia Gandhi called Modi "dramebaaz", Rahul mocked him as a leader with no vision, on the wrong side of the history and ethics. The effort for ideological rebranding was on full display at the plenary session. Rahul Gandhi was aggressive, attacked theBJP's nationalism, mocked at their role in freedom struggle, ridiculed their concept of nation and nationhood, termed their ideology exclusive and in service of crony capitalism and the corrupt; he borrowed references from Hindu mythology and compared the BJP's arrogance with that of the Kauravas and called himself a Pandava.A few years ago, it was unthinkable that Rahul Gandhi would have discussed the Congress's understanding of the Hindu religion. He explained that Hinduism in his opinion is liberal, unlike that of the RSS. It's all-encompassing and universal, respects every religion on the planet, does not breed hate, and does not necessarily reside only in temples. This statement is bold and indicative of the fact that the Congress is willing to experiment with a new understanding of the secularism,
