"Rahul said that politics should not be the domain of certain influential families."
What a great irony Dear Rahul? This is like a dictator complaining about lack of democracy! It is YOUR family which has monopolized the top post in the Congress party for decades. It is YOUR family that turned a great party (at the time of independence) to a party of sycophants. It is YOUR grandmother who was arrogant enough to think that India was her private property and hence the reason for imposing Emergency. It is YOUR party workers that killed thousands of Sikhs in 1984 because YOUR grandmother was assassinated by Sikh body guards. And YOUR own father DID NOTHING when Sikhs were being killed. So your party needs to stop finger pointing at Modi and look at what is wrong with itself. Anyway, your party revolves around YOUR family.

I see no reason to choose Gandhi family over Advani. At least Advani's genes are 100 % Indian. In fact, prime ministers like Vajpayee and P V Narasimha Rao, were much better than the Prime ministers from Gandhi family. Because congress revolves around Gandhi family, people PV who were much better and more talented are intentionally relegated to the background.
By the way, tt is debatable whether people were voting for the party (Congress) or the Gandhi family. Destroying a once great party is something which the Gandhi family has successfully accomplished.

At least they are in possession of their minds which we cannot say othe same of Advani (senile). Nehru-Gandhi family name finds a resonance length & breadth of the country not like Modi (confined to Gujuland). Nehru-Gandhis are unifiers - they are a close knit family, party. Modi is the great divider. His wife left him, his family disowns him, he splits Gujurat into two, he splits the State BJP into two and panicks the national BJP in hastily projecting a senile Advani instead of facing a national divide. The NDA endorses senile Advani to prevent virtual disintegration if Modi is projected by the BJP as a PM candidate
