Rahul Gandhi is a fifth-generation politician from the Nehru-Gandhi family and a senior Congress leader. He currently serves as the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha.
Entering politics in 2004, he contested from the family stronghold of Amethi in Uttar Pradesh, winning three consecutive terms before losing to the BJP’s Smriti Irani in 2019. However, he remained an MP by securing a win from Wayanad, a seat he held until 2024. He briefly served as Congress president from 2017 but resigned after the party’s poor performance in the 2019 General Elections.
Between 2022 and 2024, Rahul Gandhi led two major political marches—the 3,750-km Bharat Jodo Yatra (Kanniyakumari to Srinagar) and the 6,700-km Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra (Thoubal to Mumbai). In the 2024 elections, he made a strong comeback, reclaiming Amethi and assuming the role of Leader of the Opposition.
why OBC, OBC, OBC chant is not divisive politics but “Hindu Hindu Hindu” chant is ? It’s a shame same media which denounces BJP’s open support of Hindutva as divisive politics, but discusses caste based politics as strategy. We have not gotten ridden of the self loathing mentality the British has imbibed in us.
I have read your stories Mr.Subramanyam Swamy.we know who you are.do not worry about Congress. Continue your work for corporate government.your boss don’t select experienced men,no real educated youngsters,no man with minimum ecnomic knowledge .he preferred a sanyasi with no knowledge about economy or administration. Why you are still in his lap for single biscuit.we know you are playing a dangerous game.continue it for five months.
Doesn’t exactly look a spring chicken, himself.
If people of talent and calibre are kept away, performance will suffer, first politically and electorally in the party, then in terms of performance in government. The fact that Sachin is the son of another dynamic political leader, Rajesh Pilot, should not be held against him. That may have got him his break, like a film star’s son does, but he has done sterling work in Rajasthan over the last five years. The Congress needs a lot of rebuilding in states where it was relevant. That requires good people, not fawning courtiers.
