Sonia Gandhi's lineage towards Nehruism and dynastic rule of the country is essentially responsible for the defeat of the Congress during Gujarat elections. Her characteristic firmness in declining the Prime Ministerial position of India at that time, has disappeared in preference to implantation of her son Rahul Gandhi as the General Secretary of the AICC, the position that serves as the spring board to occupy the Prime Ministership of India. It is a calculated move of the vested interests as well who form a coterie around Sonia Gandhi as it happens every where in India as the people have not yet shed their slavish culture nor there is any evidence exists to disprove this fact under the prevailing circumstances.
