Rahul may be a well intentioned man like his father but his approach has been one of mindless criticism of Modi without logic.

Destruction is necessary for creation. I hope the current structure of Congress is completely destroyed along with the dynasty & other mini dynasties within it, as long that will lead to a new Congress which can counter BJP. In addition, Congress needs to stop resisting development aspirations of India, instead provide an alternative development agenda to the one of BJP. However, right now all they practice is dynasty worship, caste appeals, grievance based socialist policies and minority appeasement. That needs to stop right away.

The vast majority of middle-class Hindu voters may look beyond religion and family if he does that. However, he hasn’t shown any signs of that in his Gujarat election campaign. On the contrary, by pandering to Patel reservation, he has only displayed expediency, and therefore may have dimmed his chances.
