Former foreign minister Natwar Singh says there’s a distinct change in Rahul Gandhi since his ‘Pappu’ days, but taking over the Congress will be a huge challenge.
What is it about the Congress that the moment a member of the Gandhi family is attacked, it loses its political judgment, instinct, discretion? It ceases to respond like a political party.
The emotion that drove 27-year-old Priyanka Gandhi ahead of the 1999 Lok Sabha elections was no different from what fired her political cousins in Amethi.
Trump and Modi's respective campaigns—MAGA and Make in India—are complementary. Working together is the best way for both countries to uphold democratic values worldwide.
In the latest budget, the FDI limit was increased to 100 percent, but most foreign companies are not buying such large stakes in the Indian insurance sector.
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
Rahul may be a well intentioned man like his father but his approach has been one of mindless criticism of Modi without logic. His campaign agenda is writ if coterie around him and as long as he is unable to rid himself of these so-called advisors and stop ludicrous comments like Gabbar Singh Tax, he has no scope or hope of improving congress tally
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.
Insightful. If Rahul can bring Congress to the centre on the left-right spectrum and articulate realistic, achievable policies prior to 2019 elections, 144 may not be a difficult target to achieve. 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.
