Topic: Rahul Gandhi

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).

Narendra Modi – candidate to PM

Shekhar Gupta -
Why the prime minister's legacy will depend on how he governs, not the number of state elections he fights as personality contests.

Rahul’s yankee rap

Shekhar Gupta -
Congress vice president's anti-America attack on Modi flies in the face of his family's and world history. It'll find few takers outside of JNU.

Makeover at 44

Shekhar Gupta -
Whatever Rahul Gandhi was doing during his sabbatical, he has rid himself of fatal flaws for a mass politician: shying from eye contact and building an image of flightiness.

Why didn’t you want to resign, Dr Singh?

Shekhar Gupta -
Let's ask why our former PM let Congress undermine his authority and that of his office.

Help us imagine, Rahulji

Shekhar Gupta -
Shekhar Gupta argues that for a rapidly declining and self-destructive Congress to rejuvenate, change should first come from the top, i,.e., the Gandhi family.

The accused

Shekhar Gupta -
The charge against Manmohan Singh, always, was that he was weak. Unwilling to shoo away encroachers on his authority and shy of defending his own policies.

His moral Highness

Shekhar Gupta -
The PM’s oath of office has an implicit responsibility to protect the preeminent decision-making authority of that office. So it is difficult to watch how Manmohan Singh is going down in history as somebody who so damaged it.

Not enough, boss

Shekhar Gupta -
Since we do not have an insight into Rahul Gandhi’s mind yet, here is our list of what could possibly be called the three mistakes of his political life.

Atal Modi vs Rajiv Rahul

Shekhar Gupta -
Only two leaders have the strength, appeal & political wherewithal to break the two-decade stalemate in Indian politics with a big new idea: Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi.

First family, second nature

Shekhar Gupta -
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.

Abki baar 90 paar for Congress? Why even 30 more seats will ruffle BJP

Discussion about outcome of Lok Sabha polls continues to boil in cauldron of expectations only from BJP. Now reverse this equation, what if we asked about the performance of the 'loser'?
