Can Rahul revive Congress in UP ?
by Rajarshi Dasgupta on Apr 26, 2006 02:26 PM   Permalink

Rahul Gandhi just doesn't have what it takes to be a politician ready to revive fortunes of the Congress Party in UP, or for that matter in any state. While I acknowledge his sincerity and 'clean' image, I have strong reservations about his leadership abilities atleast from his body language and oratory skills. It appears, he is yet to come out of the "mother's good boy" mould and he is as sensitive and 'soft' as he was in October 1984. The images of 14 year-old Rahul sobbing on his father's chest during Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's cremation is still fresh in people's mind. In stark contrast, younger sister Priyanka displayed appreciable composure on the same day. No wonder, Indians still favour Priyanka as the future Congress leader.
