"Rahul Gandhi is a Flop" - Ramchandra Guha, 'Liberal' Historian. Guha is quoted by the Outlook thus, which in my opinion has most aptly described the situation.
Here is "future monarch' of World's largest democracy (should we call hypocracy?) who goes to Deobond, the Jihad Central of the World being ideological father of Taliban and talks "Babri".
Worse, he humiliates PV Narshima Rao, the most successful Congress PM outside Gandhi-Nehru family.
Rahul Gandhi shows Congress is hell bent in appeasing even Deobond to return power. But guess what, the Country will never accept paying that price.

PV Narasimha Rao was India's worst Prime Minister. He was a non performer who allowed things to drift.He had a brilliant finance Minister & a dynamic predecesor & so managed his term. Just because he was a brahmin does not make him sucessful. He was the one who allowed the destruction of the Masjid & was responsible for the blood bath that followed.
That was to happen someday. Nehru closed the masque. Rajiv opened the gate, did shilanyas by sending his Home Minister, promised Ram-Rajya by starting his campaign from Ayodhya.

On the contrary, It was PV who gave political space to MM Singh who could do necessary reform of Indian Economy.
Look at MM Singh today! He is PM, but he cannot further economic reform, BECAUSE HE DO NOT HAVE POLITICAL POWER. He is sandwitched between Sonia and CPIM.
So, ALL CREDIT MUST GO TO PV NARSHIMA RAO.
REMEMBER, PV RAN GOVT FOR FULL 5 YEARS WITHOUT HAVING MAJORITY.

//On the contrary, It was PV who gave political space to MM Singh who could do necessary reform of Indian Economy.// You are right. In an interviw on American TV, when he was finance minister under PVN, Manmohan Singh said that he was not the architect of the reforms but that he was brought in by PV to implement them. He was impressive in his humility as well as - to me - in his grasp of Indian economics.
