Firstly :Rahul is a novice in politics and the issue is internal to congress party. There has been no internal election in the party for years now, how a democracy can run on a party which does not believe in electing a leader for themselves. Then how can a layman like me undersatnd that he is popular figure in terms mass popularity in otherwords he can convince the the entire nation about his ideas of governance and carry more than 100 crore people with him towards a progressive nation. Moreover I feel that there is a section in congress for whom these symbols will help them to keep them in power,ultimately if we see our pastexperience with Rajiv Gandhi he was elected with best majority in history of India and the very next elections he was defeated and laso killed because of some wrong decision making in the past.It means there is somebody who is using their power for enriching themselves like Natwar Singh and co. The Family should take a hard look at the past and should learn lessons from their past and probably guarding themselves from these sycophants who are purely selfish selling the family's brand image and wielding lot of power.
