It seems our fate-loving nation has already spotted its next Prime Minister. Ladies and gentlemen please meet Mr Rahul Gandhi, the Crown Prince as well as the next PM of the world's largest democracy with over a billion people.
Most people of this nation will gladly accept and welcome Rahul Gandhi as PM since he represents the fourth generation of the rulers of India, the Congress party, whom India blindly trusts. However, we the minority, who have faith in democracy, have a few questions before we accept him as our leader.
Does the future PM have the knowledge, experience, maturity and above all the wisdom to lead the nation?
Is the blend of charm and name enough to lead a complex society like India?
Isn't Rahul running away from the real earthy threats and constantly avoiding direct responsibility and challenge?
Doesn't the unnecessary travelling covering different parts of India show that Gandhi is actually lost in the woods of Indian politics rather than racing ahead in the right direction?
He shares a cup of tea with the downtroddens, gives them a shoulder to cry on and then disappears forever. Gandhi then travels once by public transport in economy class and takes a joy-ride in Mumbai. Are these not stunts of an amateur magician?
Isn't the Prince esentially a dreamer and an expert in the art of getting publicity by trying a few tricks here and there?
Is the wonderlust of Rahul keeping him from committing to one cause with determination?
Clearly, Rahul Gandhi does not show an arrogant bavardo to prove his point. However, he has chosen the path of persuading, conning, coaxing and tricking the timid with a blend of charm and name. After all, he is simply following his family's path.
A small number of people believe that the future PM of India does not give the impression of a solid and dependable politician. In reality, he is more detached and scintillating thus he is not designated for achievement of lasting design.

Arun Jaitly - A Deadly Debater
Arguably, India's best-known parliamentarian today, Arun Jaitly, is bold and daring who demolishes his opponents fearlessly with splendidly articulated and well-reserched speeches. A serious politician, he is always alert and does his homework meticulously in pursuit of truth, fairplay and justice. He has the capability to see straight through the issues, and believes in expressing his views frankly and honestly. What more, he appears to be blissfully unaware of his ability to embarass other parliamentarians who often look sheepish when he shoots his arrows.
For his critics in the media and the opposition, he may never quite take the leap and become a 'mass leader' due to his straight and blunt approach. Isn't he different from the usual breed of hypocratic, habitually liar, pitchmen and con artist politicians? How many of them take pains to study, observe, analyze, learn, and then debate with hard hitting facts ? Almost none.
Needless to say that such a candid truth-seeker ace attorney is indeed the backbone of a political party. Like a seasoned, long-term politician, he well realises that the current losing streak of the BJP is only a temperory phenomena. He thus waits, and waits patiently, fully aware that success is waiting for the BJP in the wings.

Emperor's new clothes
Thousands of meek, opinionless, brainwashed subjects, standing in scorching heat at high noon, yet cheering their leaders who arrive in choppers or in posh airconditioned cars to mount cool podiums. The subjects see their leaders in crisp designer kurtas and saris. 'See how neat their clothes are', is all that could come out of their mouths.
'Because they are the leaders and could therefore do no wrong', shout the cheerleaders on tv.They repeatedly keep hammering the guillibles, who watch in awe their leaders from ditches, rat-holes and cess-pooles. 'Because they are the leaders who have ruled the nation for 60 years and can do no wrong, submit to their wishes or perish!'
There are no guesses as to what will be the fate of such an unfortunate Kingdom. The only hope is the youth of the Kingdom who may, one day, muster enough courage to shoot an arrow of truth to the crowd and call out, 'Hey! These dudes are as naked as a jay bird!'
Only then a new chapter will begin in the history of one such mythical Kingdom known as India.
