Congress party is in very bad shape. Most of the leaders are either facing charges or already charge-sheeted. The leader, who was so strong that senior officers and ministers were not able to speak before is behind the bar. Infighting even not stopped, the late decision on the political matter is affecting party prospects but the situation started changing after taking over of Mrs Sonia Gandhi. She as did in the past trying to bring back the derailed party but it's not so easy, sources say. Ahmad Patel is in full control and taking decisions in the interest of the party as suggested by party high command. It was he who decided in consultation with leadership not to claim to form government in Haryana and also to keep a low profile for the formation of government in Maharashtra. Known as Ahmad Bhai in Delhi is the real backbone of the party having very good relations with all parties. Even Gadkari, accepted after coming out from a meeting with him on current situations on Maharashtra, accepted that he is a real politician and man of words. Sources say future of the party is safe if control remains in the hand of such dedicated workers?
