When 100 year old party doesn't have gut to find a mature leader beyond dynasty these things are bound to happen. Firstly the name "Gandhi" being carried on itself is hypocratic. Thes are successors to a Parsi "Gandhy" and have nothing to do with great Gandhiji. Secondly, the poor Feroz Gandhy or Gandhi was never treated well by the maternal dynastic head Nehruji who undoubdebly was great.
There is no question of any border crossing or immature bragging. These are calclated statements the speachwriters are including for Rahul. It aims at showing that enough for Manmohan or any other Congressman outside Nehru Family to think of being effective Prime Minister of the country.
Poor Manmohanji tried restrict Rahul to be future of "UP". Sirji, all his statments are being scripted to show him to be the necessity of "Family" leading "India" - not in future now and immediately. Perhaps, it would be scripted sone that either Rahul or Soniya has to take therigns of country in hands if Congress wants to win the next elections.
