The Yadav-Bhushan camp is using social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter to publicise the Dialogue scheduled on Ambedkar Jayanti. However, it maintained that they did not want to create "unnecessary hype".
"What is your assessment of where the movement stands today? What should be the future direction of our movement? How should we proceed after 14th April?" reads the Facebook page of the initiative.
The 'pre-invite' entails answering questions such as "is the party safe in the hands of the current leadership" or should it try to recover from "wrong hands".
"Should it make a fresh beginning? What should be the future direction of our movement? How should we proceed after 14th April?" it asks.
The document says that the movement that started "four years ago" faces many paths today including the belief that this "decline" is temporary and will be corrected soon.
"There is another path of minor course correction, involving repair from within. But is that option available to us today? The third path leads away from politics altogether, into non-political movements and action. But is this not abdication of our historic responsibility?" it says in line with Yadav and Bhushan's recent statements where they have ruled out quitting politics.
