Congress leader Faisal Patel, son of the late Ahmed Patel, a close confidant of Sonia Gandhi, alleged that a \u201ccliqueish culture” dominated by \u201cout-of-control advisors” is hurting the party.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with CNN-News18<\/em>, Patel said these advisors have managed to influence Rahul Gandhi in ways that alienate experienced and well-meaning loyalists.<\/p>\n

While describing Rahul as \u201can amazing person” leading the party \u201con the right track,” Patel said poor counsel from a \u201cclosed group” was sidelining capable members.<\/p>\n

Speaking about his own political journey, Patel claimed the Congress has failed to reward loyalty or legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cDynasty and legacy should come from merit,” he said, noting that others in similar situations were given tickets or posts after the death of a political family member, whereas his requests were turned down.<\/p>\n

This was despite, he said, successfully completing assignments given by Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, as well as earning praise from party treasurer Pawan Kumar Bansal.<\/p>\n

Patel On \u2018Dead Economy\u2019 Remark<\/h2>\n

Breaking ranks on a sensitive issue, Patel disagreed with Rahul Gandhi\u2019s endorsement of Donald Trump\u2019s description of India as a \u201cdead economy,” stating, \u201cI wouldn\u2019t have agreed with that assessment.”<\/p>\n

He went on to praise BJP leaders, saying, \u201cModi ji, Shah are doing a great job. Dr. Jaishankar is very good too. The country is in safe hands.”<\/p>\n

Although reaffirming his Congress membership, Patel admitted to deep frustration. \u201cI worked very hard for nothing, it hurts. I feel disgruntled, but I continue to do good work. I can be a huge asset for the party,” he said.<\/p>\n

His remarks add to a growing list of public expressions of dissent within the Congress, spotlighting what he described as a \u201ctalent-agnostic” organisational culture.<\/p>\n
