In its toughest time in decades because of floods, Punjab would’ve expected PM Modi to visit. If he has the time for a Bihar tour, why not a short visit to next-door Punjab?
Mr. Editor,
Reading in-between lines, there is a discernible but a distinctive touch of an unseemly bias in favour of the the Gandhi family in your article suggesting that the Gandhi family siblings are already a revolutionary force to turn the tarnished image of the Congress Party. around . While the analysis of various siblings duod in the political arenas of the countries around India is an able analysis, the presumptuous suggestion that the Rahul/ Priyanka team will be the heir apparent of the core portion of the corpus of the Congress Party, with the underlying declaration that Priyanka already looks very much like Indira and is very popular with the women voters..As if she were the very reincarnation of the her grandmother Indira! So why bother with the election at all!!I beg to differ!! ??
There is still much water to flow under the bridge!
The article skips the glaring point that Rahul bringing Priyanka into politics – is this not an incontrovertible tacit admission of Rahul that as a political force he is a failure ! If he were to be regarded as a successful.politicsl entity unto himself, would he have brought Priyanka into the arena. Obviously not!
I. Stand to be corrected , were I wrong in regarding the average Indian voter as a less informed voter than heretofore, then the question arises, for any self-respecting average Indian, why should he regard Gandhi’s as if they are a divine gift to India, while not forgetting the incontrovertible fact this that the Rahul Priyanka are not of the pedigree quality.
If truth be told they are an Indo-Italian product ! You cannot put it higher. Than that, unless you would want to be laughed out.
Are there not true capable Indians available in the Congress Party that you need an Indo-Italian duo to be put on a pedestal and let that product to rule India.or is this a case of an inherent inferiority complex still prevalent in the psyche of the Congress Party !! Is Congress Party so impoverished mentally or intellectually that they are incapable of thinking in terms of a purely indigenous product to be a prime ministerial candidate ! Or the point cannot be lost that may be they have their own agenda in continuing with the Gandhi family.
If that is not what it is, pray explain what else is it !!

What makes the combination more harmonious and productive is the fact that there is no intense sibling rivalry between them. The line of succession is clear, for both this generation and the next. Growing up together, they have seen the painful deaths of Mrs Gandhi and their father. Exceptional bonds forged through the family’s moments of triumph and tragedy.
That doesn’t legitimise dynasties….
