I have borrowed the title from the last sentence of the article of noted historian Ramachandra Guha and I enriched myself with the latest tidbits about Rahul Gandhi. He has raised a few searing and searching questions about our PM-in-waiting!! During his tenure of 9 years as MP he has been present in 4 out 10 days in Parliament in session and he has made fewer speeches and those too were drab and most uninspiring. Even on issues like deprivation of rights of Advasis, he rushed to Orissa for a day to be with agitating Adivasis to declare that he was their 'Sepoy' in New Delhi but has not done anything to replace the most archaic and dreadful law or act on land acquisition enacted more than a hundred years back. What do you think? Isn't he a boneless wonder?
I definitely do not think so....According to a poll conducted by Times group more than 30% were voting for Narendra Modi as PM and even Vajpayee seems to have got more votes than Rahul Gandhi ! The Congress is simply thrusting him on the nation
Of all things that have been happening in India, one thing I feel sure about is the maturity of our youth brigade. However wildly these boot-lickers, satraps and lackeys drum up support for him, the educated youths of India are sufficiently capable of sifting grain from the chaff!!!
Very true, the youngsters these days are a smart lot and very independent thinking, so I doubt if they could be so easily manipulated by the politicians...
I remember just before the last election he made a big show of visiting Maharashtra to meet the families of farmers who committed suicides and amongst much fanfare and media publicity had meals with them in their jhuggis and what not! He never returned there and did not do even a single thing from all that he promised them!
But I do have hopes in the youth and think they are wise enough not to be fooled by these people any more. Yet I am worried about the excessive populations of certain backgrounds and communities who happen to congress's largest vote bank! :blink:
