Congress Toolkit - Summary
There is a Congress Toolkit PDF being shared widely in the media related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This toolkit sheds light on how Congress is attempting to advance its political goals during a serious health crisis. Many believe that Congress is trying to discredit the Indian government and the thousands of hardworking individuals involved in managing the pandemic.
According to Sambit Patra, a member of the BJP, there is a section in this toolkit focusing on “Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s image.” In this section, it appears that there are directions to “destroy his image and erode his popularity.”
At a certain level, it seems Congress accepts that the Prime Minister has handled the crisis effectively. However, the second wave of COVID-19 seems to be viewed as a chance to damage the Prime Minister’s reputation.
Patra has also claimed that the toolkit includes guidance on utilizing “international media coverage from a foreign correspondent in India, specifically focusing on Modi and highlighting mismanagement.” Additionally, it suggests establishing connections with foreign journalists and Indian opinion writers in international publications to inform them of talking points. The instruction also includes using impactful images of funerals and deceased individuals, which has already been observed in international media reporting, and assisting journalists through “local cadre in various districts to capture these images.”
Toolkits are not new for Congress and its network. In fact, they dedicate a significant amount of effort to create such documents regularly. For instance, there was a toolkit about the Central Vista, showcasing that they produce one underlying document after another weekly, and upon being revealed, they often “deny” it.
Understanding the Congress Toolkit
The Congress Toolkit has raised many questions regarding its objectives and implications. It seems to reflect a strategy that reveals how political parties can utilize situations to their advantage, even amidst national crises.
