For part of the day I watched proceedings at the AICC meet.To give a wholesome coverage CNN-IBN was seeking views of various delegates on anointment of Rahul Gandhi as the Prime Ministerial candidate of the party.It was with utter dismay and disgust that I watched the chorus at the meeting and the unanimity of the delegates, including the incumbent PM, in projecting him as the only leader(messiah) of this nation. One Mr Mukesh Sharma, a Congress strongman from Delhi went on to say that Rahul Gandhi is the best leader not only for India but for the world. Wonder what parameters/benchmarks, other than subservience, were adopted to come to such befuddling conclusion.
What sets Rahul Gandhi so apart,other than his surname, that the entire Congress elite clamours and genuflects at the very mention of his name.What I find extremely reprehensible is that for the last ten years the nation has been victimised with this charade but the protagonist, the man in question, is yet to give a single hint of his intellect,fortitude,commitment,intentions,analytical ability,expertise or professional knowledge. Leadership is strongest and most effective when it fosters an ideal; it is weakest and most defective when it falls short of that ideal.Wonder what ideal Rahul Gandhi stands for, to give him the distinction, that the party so willingly showers on him.
I have nothing much to comment on his speech as it was nothing but an inventory of old cliches that the nation has been exposed to for the last ten years.The only novelty was display of his ability to roar in his own den. Attitude of the Lord Master, was vividly exposed when he reiterated the oft repeated rhetoric of graces and charities showered by the Congress "we gave you this, we gave you that" .
He made a passing reference on the need to fight corruption but conveniently forgot to mention the senility,corruption,and ineptness of the UPA, led by Congress, that has set this country back by half a century not only in materialistic terms but in character,integrity and nationhood.
Giving bills, passing laws and acts will not alleviate the miseries of millions of impoverished Indians if the will is missing at the level of the leadership.Rahul perhaps forgets that rot in the fish starts in the head. 2G, CWG, Coalgate, Adarsh are but a few examples of this malaise.If he truly means business he must get down to sort this plague rather than continue to indulge in rhetoric.
