Rahul Gandhi is a fifth-generation politician from the Nehru-Gandhi family, a senior Congress leader and party MP from Wayanad in Kerala.
His entry into politics happened in 2004 when he decided to contest the Lok Sabha elections from the family seat of Amethi in Uttar Pradesh. He subsequently won three times from there but lost to the BJP’s Smriti Irani in 2019. However, Rahul Gandhi, remained an MP because he won the election from Wayanad. He became the Congress party chief in 2017 but quit from that post after the Congress’ disastrous show in the 2019 General Elections. Cutting across months of 2022, 2023 and 2024, Rahul Gandhi has taken out two yatras — the 3,750-km Bharat Jodo Yatra (from Kanniyakumari to Srinagar) and the 6,700-km Bharat Jodi Nyay Yatra (from Thoubal in Manipur to Mumbai).
I think RG will unite all those who are out from the parent body. That’s better too. It’s high time India stops and realises Hindutva is not it’s ideology.
A man is also known by the company he keeps! And in this case it is a Dud surrounded by duffers.
?? Aren’t you being too harsh? You can treat this as a rhetorical question, though. ?
Kick out Gandhis and socialism.
Let’s consider the analogy of Apple Inc. Steve Job’s era up to his death and ask two questions: (1) was Apple an idea/vision or was it a firm propelled by an almost fanatical innovator? and (2) how many of us thought that Apple would survive and grow without Steve Jobs?
Congress was born as an idea. Now it has to recreate another novel idea. The starting point is to admit that the world has moved beyond pure socialism and nationalism is an international phenomenon (at least for the time being). The latter is especially true for India because threat is real, and therefore, at times there is a need to talk and act tough. Next, it should sincerely bring about visible economic change in the states it governs; reduce income equality and deliver reasonable quality of bijli-pani. It could invite large scale private investment in its states and encourage creation of self-sustained communities (clean water / health / education) with public-private partnership model. And finally, if Rahul Gandhi feels he is not capable of delivering such benefits, then find a leader who is absolutely passionate about bringing change (genuinely) with focus of Arjuna. Think Apple. Find a Tim Cook.
On a lighter note, the Congress President is being bombarded with so much gratuitous, unsolicited advice, that itself calls for a foreign vacation to get away from it all.
