Assuming that the Congress has a ‘durbar’ or ‘high command culture’, it needs a cogent durbar policy too, particularly in the selection of chief ministers of the party-ruled states.
This felt need assumes significance in the context of the fall of Puducherry government in a bizarre and pathetic manner with the V Narayanasamy government losing majority barely two months before the Assembly polls.
On the face of it, there is a simplistic and perhaps convincing narrative of putting the blame on the BJP’s doorstep. Narayanasamy dubbed his fall from the chief ministerial post as a ‘murder of democracy’ and accused the BJP of indulging in ‘poaching’ and ‘political prostitution’. Similar allegations were levelled when the Congress was upstaged or deprived of forming a government in Goa, Manipur, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh.
