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).

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.
