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).

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.

Anybody out there?

Shekhar Gupta -
Government's inaction down the line is only matched by the silence at its top.

Smirks that speak and a doctor with no prescription

Shekhar Gupta -
Congress has a Very Angry Young Man, BJP has too many angry old men.

The great letdown

Shekhar Gupta -
UPA-2 has been an incredibly apolitical government, which is its own and India's tragedy.

Go, or get going

SGIN -
The risk Congress does not want to be taking going into 2014 is going into an election with the 'longest-lasting lame duck' in India's history.

The party is brain dead

Shekhar Gupta -
The Congress is so intellectually overwhelmed by the Dynasty that it is incapable of even thinking, strategising, and functioning as the opposition.

Modi’s new universe: the normal irritants of democracy & awkward chai with Rahul Gandhi

Shekhar Gupta -
Changed reality for Modi govt in its 3rd innings is by no means rise of a new phenomenon. It's a return to old normal where even majorities had to routinely wrestle with storied million mutinies.
