One of my friend said “Rahul Gandhi should be our next PM. Then India would start prospering”. I asked him “What makes you think so?”. He replied “He is a youth dude. We need youth leaders”.
I started to wonder just because he is younger than other Indian politician does he deserves the most powerful position in India! I did a bit of research on him to find whether he really deserves that post!
To begin, I couldn’t find much about his academics! Where did he study? What did he study? How much did he score in subjects? What are his achievements as a student? Well, The Congress doesn’t boast anything about it! Somewhere in the late 2006, Newsweek alleged that Rahul didn’t complete his degree from Harvard and Cambridge! After sometime Newsweek apologized to Rahul! They clarified that Rahul left Harvard to join Rollins College in Florida in 1991 due to security reasons after the assassination of his Father Rajiv Gandhi! I couldn’t find anything outstanding in his academical career which qualifies him for the top post!
I started to research about his political career. Wanted to find out at-least one incident or action which qualifies him for the top post.
He spends days in villages but comes with no insights on improving the rural conditions! He attracted the attention of the whole country to a widow in Vidarbha by mentioning in the parliament, but didn’t take any action to stop farmers suicide! He stood for the adivasis of Niyamgiri, but didn’t do anything to improve their condition! What has he done to “Amethi”, the lok sabha constituency he is representing? Nothing outstanding!
I also noticed that Rahul has intelligently kept himself away from commenting on the series of scams which have hit current UPA regime! I started to wonder, how could a person who is so unnerved to take on “A Raja” or “Suresh Kalmadi” deserves the top post?
Why doesn’t Rahul deserve the top post?
1. He is not a Visionary.
2. He is not a good Orator.
3. He doesn’t have any idea of his own for the problems our country is facing.
4. He is unnerved to take on any powerful and corrupt politicians.
The post will be incomplete without mentioning his wealth! In 1991, Swiss magazine Schweizer revealed that Rahul was beneficiary of accounts worth $2.2 billion dollars controlled by his mother Sonia Gandhi! Recent report about his family’s financial net worth was estimated to be anywhere between $9.1 billion to $18.66 billion!
One day he’ll become our PM, because he possesses one thing which will take him to the post. The “Gandhi” Tag!
