It seems <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Congress+">Congress </a>party is already testing itself in UP waters and assessing the party’s strategy for <keyword id="6357713" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Uttar-Pradesh">Uttar Pradesh</keyword> assembly election 2017. For this, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Rahul+Gandhi">Congress party’s vice-president Rahul Gandhi</a> is pepping up his party workers to fight tooth and nail in the state elections. In one such attempt, Gandhi urged his partymen to imbibe the ‘team culture’ of <keyword id="6357934" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Steve-Jobs">Steve Jobs</keyword>’ <keyword id="6354427" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Apple">Apple</keyword>.

 Gandhi, in his speech at a chintan shivir in <keyword id="58667" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mathura">Mathura</keyword> said, "Party must work like Steve Jobs' Apple and be open to all opinions and not just some leaders. We (Congress) allow people to have different ideologies, unlike the RSS." 
 
Gandhi is in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Mathura+">Mathura </a>to assess the Congress party’s approach towards the forthcoming assembly polls in early 2017. 
 "The Congress party is not like the RSS which guides the government. Every member's voice is heard here unlike what happens under (RSS chief) <keyword id="42702" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mohan-Bhagwat">Mohan Bhagwat</keyword>," stated Gandhi in party’s first major program after it was sent packing in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections with securing only two of the total 80 seats in the state.

He said, "Earlier, I used to see you all like an army, but now I see you as my family members and we have to work together, take care of each other as family members." 
 
He also launched a scathing attack on PM Narendra Modi. "Modiji is in a self-destruct mode. Even if we all tried, we would not be able to harm him as much as he is doing himself,” he said. 
 
Recently at a farmers’ rally, Rahul had promised not to let the controversial land bill pass, saying the PM's "Make in India" campaign was actually "Take in India" and had "no place for farmers and labourers".

Party must work like Apple and not RSS: Rahul Gandhi

NEW DELHI: The world’s second-largest standing <keyword id="15350" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Army">Army</keyword> is fast running out of ammunition. Tanks and air defence units, artillery batteries and infantry soldiers are all facing the crunch. The Army is, obviously, tight-lipped on the ammunition shortage. But a simple calculation reveals that at present, it may not have enough ammunition reserves to sustain a full-fledged war for even 20 days. 
 The norm is that war wastage reserves (WWR) should be adequate for 40 days of intense fighting, with 21 days earmarked for ammunition with shorter shelf-life. But according to a recent statement by Army chief General <keyword id="130318" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Bikram-Singh">Bikram Singh</keyword>, if there is proper budgetary support for the new ammunition roadmap, the Army should have 50 per cent WWR and three years of training ammunition by 2015. 
 
In other words, the Army is at not even 50 per cent WWR right now, which means it does not have adequate reserves to fight a war for even 20 days. It is expected to reach 100 per cent WWR only by 2019. 
 With the huge shortages adversely impacting both operational readiness and training, the 1.18-million strong <keyword id="6354416" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Indian-Army">Indian Army</keyword> is desperate that the new government which takes charge in May actively supports its new ammunition roadmap of around Rs 19,250 crore, both in terms of fund allocations and timelines. 
 
 
 This becomes all the more crucial since the Army has kick-started the raising of the new XVII <keyword id="184463" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Mountain-Strike-Corps">Mountain Strike Corps</keyword>, which will come into full force with over 90,000 soldiers over the next seven years, to add some much-needed teeth to its deterrence posture against China. This alone will see the raising of 32 new infantry battalions, apart from armoured, artillery and air defence units. 
 
The Army already has 13 corps, which includes the three "strike" ones headquartered at Mathura (I Corps), Ambala (II Corps) and Bhopal (XXI Corps). They add up to 382 infantry battalions, 281 artillery, 63 armoured, 44 mechanized and 56 air defence regiments, apart from other support arms like signals, engineers, ordnance and the like. 
 
Plans didn't take off 
 
On one hand, almost none of its critical modernization projects for new howitzers, helicopters, anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) or air defence guns have materialized till now. On the other, operational hollowness or "critical" deficiencies in ammunition and fuses for existing weapon systems have built up over the last decade. 
 
"There is a glaring mismatch between operational and training requirements vis-a-vis budget allocations, imports and the inadequate production capacity of our 39 ordnance factories," said a senior officer. 
 
The Army holds ammunition, which is costly and also has shelf-life, at three levels. The "first line" of operational and training ammunition is held at the battalion level in the shape of "on weapon and unit reserves", while the "second line" is with higher formations like brigades and divisions. 
 
Finally, there is the WWR, held in a dispersed manner. 
 With <keyword id="6366153" type="POSITION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Defence-Minister">defence minister</keyword> AK Antony sanctioning the roadmap, the next government will have to take it forward.
