Tricking the Timid

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.

  1. India has always believed in hero worship.Congress, supported by the ever bending backward media-is doing a good job providing RG s the next best bet.
    The blame squarely lies with the opposition parties.They have proved to be useless.
    However,let us wait for the time to come.
    We all seem to be losing sight of Baba Ramdev's entry into politics.

  2. I, unfortunately differ from you on certain points though am not an ardent supporter of Mr. Rahul Gandhi!

    One, he is not accepting the direct responsibility probably because he does not want the cynics to comment on his inherited silver throne without doing much work, as the first generation politicians need to do!

    Mr. Rahul Gandhi is working for the party to strengthen it because the core villages in India still have the faith in the Gandhi legacy. He is doing the right job by forming a young and intelligent team by handpicking youngsters after conducting personal interviews with them.

    He might not be the perfect person wisdom wise to hold this place, but by, connecting to the bottom of the pyramid i.e. the rural people, he is actually gaining experience to handle situation fr a complex democracy.

    We dont know whether he will be a good pm or not, but I cannot ascertain his incapability on the basis of a divergent perception of his local rural connect

  6. Mr. Rahul Gandhi is Someone who talks about an issue he's confortable with and turns his back to another issue that is all about the nation because If he talks about that issue then congress will surely have grouping and fight within the party like BJP does have otherwise he will be questioned for morality and his intentions will be suspected. so he find a similer way as mr. Manmohan singh . "Being silent is way better than thousands of answers".
    Congress is a corrupt house not letting BJP take over. India need to improvise rather than stcking with the same old useless corrupt overconfident brute idealogical cultural parties ruinning the nation for over sixty five years.
