The alternative to Sonia Gandhi is Sonia Gandhi. The rest is mere bagatelle. Statements issued and interviews given by the likes of Vasant Sathe, Jairam Ramesh, V.N. Gadgil and some others may suggest that there is a great mood in the Congress for a change in leadership but those clearly are the exceptions rather than the rule. An extensive but informal survey carried out by Outlook - interviewing 40 senior Congress leaders from all over the country - suggests that far from looking for a change, a strong "Save Sonia" campaign is under way, putting paid to hopes of a select few who may continue to entertain such illusions.
