Mani Shankar Iyer’s big claim: Senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar, who is in the news for his controversial statements, has released the second part of his life ‘A Maverick in Politics’. In which he has also talked about many important issues including the future of Congress and coalition politics. In this way, Iyer has revealed many things related to his political life as well as Congress. Meanwhile, during the discussion on the book, Iyer compared Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi to the pair of Nehru and Patel. Iyer said that people who wrote about the freedom struggle praised Nehru and Patel. He wrote that the pair built and ruled the country. Experts of that time considered both to complement each other.
Rahul and Priyanka will be the face of Congress for the next 30 years
Mani Shankar Aiyar said in an interview, ‘Priyanka Gandhi has been an MP for the last 6 weeks. Now we see the future in them. The pair of Nehru and Patel built the country. I am sure that the pairing of Rahul and Priyanka will be like this. I think both of them will be the face of Congress for the next 30 years. I don’t see any competition between the two. Those people must have decided how to live. From the family side, Rahul Gandhi will be the face of Congress, but Priyanka Gandhi will make an important contribution to the party. Any attempt to separate the two will not succeed. In future we will see Congress of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka.
Gave important advice to Congress
In the interview, the Congress leader also gave an important advice to the party. He said that Congress should not think that apart from him no other leader will lead the India alliance. He said, ‘This is not a very important question at this time. However I would say, Congress should be prepared to step down as the leader of the India Bloc. Whoever wants to be made a leader, make him so. Mamata Banerjee has the ability to do this. Other leaders also have the strength and necessary talent to lead the alliance. Therefore, I believe it does not matter who leads the coalition. Congress will definitely play a central role. I feel that even though Rahul Gandhi is no longer the leader of the Grand Alliance, he will be respected even more.
Iyer has betrayed Congress many times
Let us tell you that recently Mani Shankar Aiyar had also said that the Gandhi family not only made my career but also ruined it. He said, I have not been able to talk to Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi for a long time. Many such statements have come including objectionable comments on PM Narendra Modi, while Aiyar has blamed Congress itself. It is believed that due to his continuous controversies, the party has distanced himself from him.
