It is no bloody doubt that Madame Sonia can do whatever she wants to in this country. She could decide that her maid will be the PM and so it will be. This has been the case for the past 50 years and unfortunately, I believe will continue to be so. That is because of the ignorance of the people who still believe in hero worship, especially in the smaller and backward areas of the country, which constitutes the majority of the population in India.
An analysis of the COngress seath share in the past 3 assemblies suggests that they have got most of their votes from the backward areas. Which brings me to my point... The congress (read Nehru Gandhi family) has a vested interest in keeping India backward, as that ensures their staying in power. The lesser educated and developed the people are, the more they will think of these jokers as their "Maai Baap". So you see why in 50 years of independence the country has developed at the snails pace that it has!
I was an idealist a few years back, hoping that India would improve, but now I realise it never will. These morons will continue to rule and keep the country as backward as it is... after all their job depends on it!!
