It is almost on the same lines as the message from Congress President Sonia Gandhi to party workers in the journal.
"In the states where we are in power, the party chief ministers must work in tandem with the party presidents," she said, asking partymen to prepare for the challenges ahead.

The Congress had hit a dry patch in 2007, losing elections in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Punjab, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. Its only consolation was the wins in Goa and Manipur. The editorial recalled Gandhi's recent statement at the All India Congress Committee's session that she and her son Rahul Gandhi do not have a magic wand.
"It is the responsibility of other party leaders to ensure that the party programmes and policies are disseminated amongst the people," stated the editorial.
