I don't know who decides Congress strategy, or advises RaGa.
Congress should have clearly supported CJP protest. All it needed was one emotional pro student, pro Wangchuk statement from RaGa. Bass.
And then flipped it on CJP, saying "we encourage you to support and join OUR Dehradun, Chatroon ki goonj event".
If as you say, CJP is a plant, unki toh band bajj jaati. Side lena padta.
Par Bhai, basic common sense dikhaenge, toh Congressi kyo kehlaenge.
