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.
Looks like Rahul did not even understand the purpose of the Bhagvad Gita. After election loss wants to quit as a party president?
Mr Kulkarni, your really want us to believe that suspending Mani Shankar Aiyar was an act of propriety? Nonsense! As Balagangadharan V O, above, has pointed out, it was a gimmick. Rahul Gandhi would have shown himself to be a true leader if he had reprimanded MSA, but told the BJP that since MSA was not even an office bearer, leave alone spokesman, of the Congress, his views are not those of the party’s. But he sacrificed a man who was slavishly loyal to him, so that he might bask in the glory of the act. This much is obvious to even the dullest fellow in the country. You want us to believe that Rahul Gandhi’s act was noble!
Maybe Modi was crass. But Rahul Gandhi proved to be deceptive, a charlatan. This temple hopping, jenevu dhari, rudraksha mala dhari, costume was genuine, yeah? Do you believe that? Why, only recently he was calling the Prime Minister ‘khoon ka dalal’, for having done the surgical strike. All of a sudden, Rahul Gandhi became dignified and well-mannered, yeah? Maybe he did, but I’d like to see more evidence. As of today, I’d rather support a crass person than a charlatan.
Well said Ramesh. If it requires these many words to make ‘intellectuals’ like Mr. Kulkarni to understand, so be it. However, in all likelihood, you are expressing your view to a person who is busy building his echo chamber.
This Sudhendra Kulkarni was a Trojan in the BJP. Good he was kicked out. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
It is true that the election speeches in Gujarat by BOTH parties and their associates/partners were sub-standard.
But Shri.Kulkarni has conveniently given a clean chit to Mr.Rahul Gandhi and Congress for reasons best known to him. Suspending Mr.Mani Shankara Iyer was nothing more than a “gimmick”.
Krishna also told in Githa to do the job best suited for one. Rahul Gandhi is not a politician. If he really follows Githa then he should not have become General Secretary, VP and now president of congress. By picking qualities which suites the author he is doing a mi service to the news.
How Mr Shekhar Gupta can conveniently now forget the phrases like “khoon ki dalali”, “maut ka saudagar”, “shahenshah-ism”, etc. used by the same family against nationalist leader, Prime Minister Narendra Modi ??
“defeat the congress”??? typo and a goof up – pls correct
Naturally it looks like he is taking Bagavad Gita seriously.
It’s all about how to be a man with his wife.
Since all is over, and he has a well assured Job, gifted by her mother and steady income and pension from the so called Gandhian followers it’s something young generations should look to. It’s time that his mother Sonia finds him a Gujrati partner, nay he would have gone through Bagavad Gita but how much Bagavad Gita has gone through him is a mute Q!!

And by the way, the author’s argument falls flat on its face in view of today’s television interview that violates the model code.
