Mr. Rahul Gandhi who has been around for quite sometime in Indian politics and obviously the Congress Party's choice for the top administrative post in the country but the person himself is so apologetic about it that is creating the whole problem. The young man has yet to articulate his views on issues vital to the nation to win the confidence of the electorate. Though lackeys and sycophants of the Gandhi family have been working overtime to foist him on this poor nation!!!
That is the whole problem, I remember how when Rajeev Gandhi died all congress leaders wanted Sonia Gandhi to take over and become the prime minister, but she declined and after VP Singh again they wanted to pull her in and after a lot of drama fro her side she agreed to be part of the managing committee...Now they want to pull in a supposedly reluctant Rahul Gandhi, the same game plan of reluctance on one side and pressure on the other side !
I think Sonia and Rahul both would have accepted the post but reluctance is there on their part just because of one horrible reason. The deaths of Rajiv and Indira Gandhi by insurgents while in office perhaps is stopping them to be there in PM office, but it's all right, they are enjoying the status even from outside so why should Rahul become prime minister and shoulder the burden or take the responsibility in case something goes wrong.

You are right. There is another reason for not accepting PM’s post ( and now Rahul ). Sonia envisaged long ago that by remaining in the background, she could enjoy power at the same time escape from the brickbats rained on the man at the helm of the affairs. Her sycophant fans proudly describe it as an act of “ Sacrifice.”

If the insurgents also believe that Sonia and Rahul are the real masters and hold status, the danger begins.

Thats exactly what it is, remian in the background but pull strings like a puppeteer which suits the family very well and we have enough Bakhras in the congress party who would do anything as long as their favors are met with...our nations politics is the joke of the western world , people laugh at it, wondering how a foreign lady can sit and call the shots ...

Congress is what This is!. Congressmen are what they are! The voters will also remain what they are! Sonia Gandhi will remain 'foreign' in spite of all that she did in India! Then what to do? The India voters have no alternative. They will again support the 'Foreign lady' and all her men!
Is this not the time we talk less on personalities and more on policies!.

Personalities and policies are intertwined with each other. They are inseparable. The name of Mahatma Gandhi invariably pushes forward his policies and principles ( Ahimsa). Hitler’s name is linked with his heinous policy, “Nazi hatred.”

Issue of foreign lady is meaning less. It is Indian culture and tradition that after marriage house of husband is house of five. Sonia married with Rajeev Gandhi now she in Indian.

Ideology may be related to person but is distinct and separate. Also the personality is part of a bigger organization. What Sonia and Rahul state on policy matters may be matter of discussion but discussing their personal family matters or how they eat and sleep may be too personal. Some type back, Mayavati, BSP leader even talked of soap used by Rahul Gandhi. I may give another example of Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru. It is okay to remember him as architect of modern India but what about his detractors digging his ancestry to prove that his forefathers were non Hindus.

Dominique Lapierre in his book “Freedom at midnight” writes about a few strange habits of Mahatma Gandhi about the ways he use to test his celibacy. Though these are the personal matters of Mahatma Gandhi, none objected. Because, Mahatma Gandhi was a public figure. You and I are not public figures. Naturally people will not talk about us. We are not public figures. A public figure’s life is an open book .

Yes. You may talk about personal life of Mahatma Gandhi but that cannot be part of Gandhian thought and is not relevant to real politics. As long as we are able to distinguish between what is personal and what is socially or politically relevant, all is well. also it is a matter of personal attitude. I am opposed to peeping in personal lives of any one including politicians and artists. So, I just enjoy the movies without bothering about affairs of the film personalities. but there are many who are more interested in movie gossip than movies.

Peeping in to personal lives is not an appreciable trait. I appreciate that quality in a person who minds his own business.

That can never happen with public figures and politicians since every move of theirs gets scrutinised. People would want to know whether these people who wield so much power and have access to the country's wealth are really doing what they are supposed to do or taking the nation for a ride, which of course Congress has been doing since independence...

Perhaps their kingdom is a sinking ship the way tide is blowing. It is a 'low blow tide' which is sweeping everything toward the shore where a junkyard is located and also a ship never sails well on the shore.
