Rahul Gandhi, by virtue of his belonging to Gandhi clan, could have imbibed the legacy of his fore-fathers but not their intellectual acumen, leadership qualities and the like. I do not deny that he could be the leader. But simply because he is carrying the Gandhi dynasty, he should be given the leadership is wrong.
There are somany young leaders who can lead the country and who can parallel Rahul.
Conclusion - it is too early to choose him as the leader. Let him perform himself in different roles in the party as also the govt., prove his mettle and then earn the leadership position . Then only it is wise and appropriate to handover the mantle of leadership to him.
