    No issues, they can be kept as cheer leaders to celebrate some Vijayotsava, when Cong wins some panchayat or bypoll elections. Like we have in our costal districts, the losing Congi candidates.

    Lets be fair guys. I am a Cong supporter. There is lots of dissent within the Cong party, even if they do not admit it. Especially with the potential winning candidates. If they win they will have to listen to a low ranker or a non performer from another party when a 'ghatbandhan' is formed, and they lose power and significance. They do not have any decision making capacity. Net Net, the criteria of every Congi leader won or lost, is to make its president Pappu happy so his career stays afloat. Its obvious they feel, 'Why should we swallow the bitter pill by siding a candidate who has a track record of 30 defeats'??. No Congi has it in him to answer this question.
