He is partially right. Gandhi surname does not give him the edge only. It gives him and his family the identity.
Remove the Gandhi name and what you are left with? A rahul no body who would be working in a call centre in Gurgaon. A ex pilot's wife named Sonia living somewhere in Vasant Kunj. A wife of a small time businessman from Muradabad who is named Priyanka.
WHat they would be if you take out the Gandhi name? Congress may not make them even primary members. They would need to wait for months for an appointment with Ambika Soni.
One more family in these teeming millions.
It seems Rahul does not know or understand this and is still suffering from his foot in the mouth disease.
