Congress is a selling dead beet with Rahul Gandhi in action. He will most likely lead the party without doubt in 5-10 years to come, but the party will reduced to fringes by then. Lately, Congress reminds me of the Swatantra Pary, Hindu Mahasabha and Dravidar Kazhagam. Rahul will have to live with being a minor player in a larger coalational framework in the years to come. Congress will most likely lose Andhra in sweeping way in 2009 and there starts it's real decline. This Rahul guy seems like an authoritarian type who doesn't wish to give room for capable party workers to make it big and lead the party. Too bad for the age old party since India has changed a lot since past couple of decades. Sonia is a disaster for Congress and Rahul will do the cremation work.
