The Gandhi Family.........and Our Country
by rahul tyagi on Apr 14, 2008 10:12 PM

It is as much a matter lack of individual dignity and respect as it is for the nation that even the Congressmen have been unable to find a %u201Ctrue%u201D leader. The Congress seems to have become an archaic organisation, now crumbling under the weight of its own political greed, which has perpetuated the succession of the Nehruvian line in the first place. Indira Gandhi was placed as Nehru%u2019s successor and a very much reluctant Rajiv as Indira%u2019s successor. It was the grossest form of abuse of democracry to place an unelected candidate in the highest office of the country simply by virtue of his or her birth %u2013 a most serious crime - against a state and its citizens.Yet we have not learned from our mistakes. We continue to repeatedly fawn and glorify the one family that has been responsible for the partition of India, the pathetic state of affairs for almost three decades and for making a mockery of the democratic system of governance by twisting laws and legislations to their own advantage. Take Rahul Gandhi for example, for someone who professes so much patriotism %u2013 %u201CRahul baba%u2019s%u201D tastes surprisingly incline towards the exotic!! He has %u201CZ%u201D category security, lives in the house that erstwhile Prime Ministers lived in, has a foreign GF (a hereditary trait from his father) and of course, goes abroad every once in a while on all expenses paid trips. And all this paid by the %u201Caam aadmi%u201D What a life!!Now how can we ask anyone from the Gandhi family......sorry, Nehru family? They aren't real
