Every party wants someone to lead them to greener pasteurs. So I do not find any problem in the Congressmen expecting Rahul to lead them and the country to some special place for they had experienced their best leaders come from the Gandhi Family.
But I really feel it is upto Rahul to decide. If he is interested in Leading he should prepare himself When he comes up with that interest then he should be evaluated on his performance as a Minister. There is no point arguing about Gandhi family. If he is the best then he is!!
