Things going beyond a point.
Sickularism is no longer helping both the Ecosysten and the Congress.
Columnist Tavleen Singh. who turned anti-Modi around 2016, says -- "... If the family allows real analysis of the defeat in Bihar, they may discover that nobody ‘stole’ yet another election. The Congress party lost, and will continue to lose elections".

"What now passes for the mighty political party of our freedom movement is a bunch of sycophants, time servers and courtiers in Delhi," wrote Tavleen Singh in her regular column for 'The Indian Express'.
She also says - Rahul Gandhi "needs to bring together the handful of real politicians he still has in the party and ask them to prepare reports on what has gone wrong in their state.
This could lead to those dead roots slowly coming back to life."
She is quite bitter and thus truthful ---
"If there is introspection, then the Congress party’s ruling family will be forced to admit that their current heir has failed to raise political issues that matter to voters or to get his message across to them. This is not for want of trying.
He does a very good job of mingling with our poorest citizens and trying to put himself in their shoes, making sure that this happens when TV cameras are around. So, we have seen him harvesting rice, becoming a roadside cobbler, carrying stones on his head ...... -- Tavleen notes and argues how at the end of the day there is no vote for coming to the Congress.
"It is not at all wrong for a political prince to discover what life is like for the lowly and the destitute. But there must be some purpose to the exercise. If after all this effort he cannot come up with the sort of new economic and political ideas that would revive the party that was his inheritance, then it is simply a waste of time. If he stopped treating the Congress party as if it was a private family estate instead of a political party, he might find ways to revive its dead roots".
Tavleen then makes a demand - "He (Rahul) should ask himself what would have happened if instead of him it was another political leader who had led our oldest party to defeat in more than 50 major elections.
He would have been asked to resign. Right?"
