Rahul is modest !

Indeed, modest.. after all the young humble man made a statement of fact "off-record" to press that he could easily become the youngest PM of the country if he wants!! Indeed modest!!

Just reminds me of this:
Brutus: what was the noise? Casca: why, there was a crown offered him: and being offered him, he put it by with the back of his hand, thus; and then the people fell a-shouting B: what was the second noise for? C:why, for that too. Cassius: They shouted thrice..? Brutus: was the crown offered thrice Casca:Ay, marry, was't, and he put it by thrice, every time gentler than other, and at every putting-by mine honest neighbours shouted.....when he perceived the common herd was glad he refused the crown, he plucked me ope his doublet and offered them his throat to cut.......Three or four wenches, where I stood, cried 'Alas, good soul!' and forgave him with all their hearts: but there's no heed to be taken of them; if Caesar had stabbed their mothers, they would have done no less.

Thanks Mr. Saisuresh, for refreshing my memory and proclaiming softly "long live dynastic politics". Sonia Gandhi and her cotrie would be proud.

India is least bothered about dynasty politics.Whether
it's the Congress or BJP,every party seems to be waking up to all-in-the-family politics.Varun Gandhi,Manavendra Singh,Stalin,H.D.Kumaraswamy,Navin Patnaik,Akhilesh Yadav,the list is endless..
Development-both social and economic,is the only thing that matters today for Indians.If Delhi is way ahead of BJP-ruled states on this,it hardly matters who does it,Sheila Dikshit or her son Sandeep.
Take a look at the countries around us.What do you have to say about Benazir Bhutto,Chandrika Kumaratunga,George Bush,Khaleda Zia?
