The 140th foundation day event of the Congress in New Delhi on Sunday was another occasion for the party to situate itself between a long legacy and an outlook for a changed political landscape.

That meant some murmurs on the sidelines about the need to address the party's organisational weaknesses and to instil a sense of discipline and vitality among its workers at all levels.
