The Crazy Case of Rahul Gandhi

If you're the captain of an Indian cricket team, or the CEO of a big business, and your team or company doesn't perform well, what will happen to you? You'll be removed. But the same standards don't apply to political leaders, especially if you have a strong family name and you're a leader of the country's second-largest political party.

"I am absolutely against the concept of dynasty. " "You're not going to change that without opening the system. " "You're not going to open the system without having processes.

" "That is the work I do. " Imagine that there's not a single major livable city in our country. Either the AQI is high, or there's garbage everywhere.

The economy is in a state of turmoil. There are no high-quality jobs. And the purchasing power of the people is low.

"The Indian market is also facing headwinds. " "The stock market crashed again today. " The country's finances depend on a selected few taxpayers.

But even in this environment, our government isn't under much pressure. Why? Because a major opposition leader is a part-time politician.

Out of the 140 crore people, our opposition couldn't find one good leader. I want to say something bold. Indian democracy will be stronger if our opposition is stronger.

And this will happen when Rahul Gandhi resigns, conducts a transparent elections for the leadership of Congress, and gives all the power to that leader. Because India deserves a better opposition. And if you disagree, give me the next 30 minutes and I'll explain why Rahul Gandhi should quit Congress Party.

Rahul Gandhi is born on 19 June 1970 to Rajiv and Sonia Gandhi. He starts schooling at St. Columba's School, a premium school in Delhi.

In 1981, he goes to Dehradun's famous boarding school, Dhoon School. But three years later, in 1984, something tragic happens. "Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is no more.

" Rahul Gandhi's grandmother and the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi is killed by her security guards. Because of this incident, Rahul Gandhi's security is questioned. So he is withdrawn from the school and taught at home.

In 1989, he takes admission at St. Stephen's College. But many Delhi University students and faculty protest against his admission.

Because they heard that Rahul Gandhi was given a sports quota. Student leaders and the opposition party accuses the country's Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, who became our Prime Minister after Indira Gandhi, of using his approach to get him admitted. Dr V.

Arya, who is responsible for the admission at St. Stephen's College, says that Rahul Gandhi was given a sports quota because he won a gold medal in the National Shooting Championship. These photos are released, where the Governor is giving him a medal.

The National Rifle Association also releases a testimonial, saying that in the 32nd National Shooting Competition, Rahul Gandhi was in 4th position Madanlal Khurana, the President of the Delhi Unit of BJP accuses him of falsifying all the certificates. After a year, Rahul Gandhi leaves St. Stephen's College and goes to Harvard University.

But even there, he couldn't complete his graduation. Because there comes another tragedy in his life. There are concerns regarding his security once again.

He then goes to Rollins College in Florida, to complete his BA in International Relations in 1994. In 1995, he pursues his M. Phil in Development Studies at the University of Cambridge.

But he doesn't join politics after his graduation. First, he works with a management consulting company, Moneta Group in London. Then, in 2002, he starts his own technology consultancy in Mumbai.

Two years later, he enters the world of politics, when it is announced that Rahul Gandhi would contest the Lok Sabha Elections in 2004 from Amethi. "From a reserved politician who never made loud his intention to changing gears and taking a stand on the issues that mattered. .

. " "In the last few months India has seen an aggressive Rahul Gandhi, who has even hinted that he is ready to take on the top job. " But this announcement shocks many people.

Because before 2004, he didn't show a strong interest in politics. Before this announcement, in an interview, he said, I'm not against politics. But that doesn't mean I'm going to join politics.

Just as Rahul Gandhi changed his plans, we should also have adaptability in our modern life. For example, money transfers. We use UPI transactions a lot these days.

Now imagine if you get a guaranteed reward for every transaction. That's where POP UPI comes in. POP UPI is a platform that gives you a guaranteed 2% POPcoins on every payment.

And the value of 1 POPcoin is ₹1. So imagine if you make a payment of ₹2,500, you'll get a POPcoin worth ₹50. You can use it for shopping, with a 80% discount sometimes.

For example, the price of Portronic headphones on other platforms is ₹999. You can buy it on POP with ₹680 worth of POPcoins. Similarly, whether it's a Bewakoof's t-shirt or Garnier's face wash, you'll get it all at a low price on the POP app.

With electronics, fashion, cosmetics, and more than 500 brands, POP UPI makes your daily transactions more rewarding and secure. The POP team also told me that soon you can get a cashback on your daily transactions, whether it's food delivery or cabs. So this is the best time to collect POPcoins.

The link is in the description. Check it out. And earn POPcoins, India's new favorite UPI app.

A few years ago, during his studies in America, Rahul Gandhi met economist Amartya Sen. About the meeting, Sen says: When we were eating together, I asked him about his plans. At that time, he wasn't planning to join politics.

But when Rahul Gandhi was asked about it again, he said that he had decided to join politics many years ago. He said that he had made up his mind the day his father passed away. "I took this decision when I was going to Allahabad on a train with my father's ashes.

" "As soon as we entered UP, I saw outside the train that many people were sad. " "And I felt that as my father's son I had responsibilities. " When it was announced that Rahul Gandhi was going to contest the elections, the Congress Party wasn't ready either.

In fact, many senior members of the party didn't even have Rahul Gandhi's CV to give to the media. Congress Party's media manager, Tom Vadakan, told the BBC, whether we were expecting this. Yes and no.

But this is a pleasant surprise for us. When you read the news articles of 2004, you'll realize that many opinions haven't changed. For example, Pratap Bhanu Mehta calls this decision baffling or confusing.

He says that the general impression was that Priyanka was more charismatic and would become the political leader. "Rahul is the next prime minister for many Congress leaders. " "But the debate has begun.

" "Who's better, Rahul or Priyanka? " Anyway, 33-year-old Rahul Gandhi contests the elections from Amethi in 2004 and wins. He gets 66% of the votes, while Chandra Prakash Mishra, from the Bhaujan Samaj Party, gets only 17% of the votes.

This victory isn't surprising to anyone if you know Amethi's history. Between 1980 and 2004, in 22 out of 25 years, someone from the Gandhi family has represented this seat. Be it Sanjay Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, or Sonia Gandhi.

Many people are hoping that like their family members, Rahul Gandhi will become the next party leader. But Rahul Gandhi refuses to do so. After Amethi's victory, when his supporters call him the next prime minister, he says that he has seen many prime ministers in his families, and it's not a big deal.

In fact, I believe that you don't need a post to serve your country. So it becomes clear that Rahul Gandhi isn't running after a big post. And he doesn't even let his mother take a big post.

In 2004, Sonia Gandhi is the Congress leader. And everyone believes that she'll be the party's prime ministerial candidate because the Congress Party can now form a coalition government. But surprisingly, it's announced that not Sonia Gandhi, but Dr Manmohan Singh will be the country's next prime minister.

"Rahul says that if the Congress has to lead the next government, then Dr Manmohan Singh as Prime Minister is non-negotiable. " The details of this scene are given in the book How Prime Ministers Decide. When this discussion is going on about Sonia Gandhi being the next prime minister, Rahul Gandhi enters the room and says, I won't let you be the prime minister.

My father died, my grandmother died, and in six months, you'll be killed too. Natwar Singh, the country's former minister of external affairs, is present in the room and says that Rahul threatened to take an extreme step if his mother doesn't listen to him. Rahul Gandhi gives his mother 24 hours to decide on this issue.

Eventually, it's announced that the country's Prime Minister will be Dr Manmohan Singh. Rahul Gandhi also says that he won't take a ministerial position in the government. My party needs me.

He says, there are better people than him in the cabinet. He says, his focus will be to strengthen the party in Uttar Pradesh. I'm from Uttar Pradesh, and the party's condition is not good in that state.

Someone has to take care of Uttar Pradesh. But Rahul Gandhi doesn't achieve success in this goal. In 2007, the Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections are taking place.

Rahul Gandhi is a star campaigner. In a speech, he says, My family is in Delhi, but my heart is in UP. But in these elections, Congress has to bear a heavy loss.

Congress Party contests 393 seats and wins only 22 seats. That's less than the 2002 state elections. Congress Party's situation in Uttar Pradesh has been bad since 1989.

But despite Rahul Gandhi's entry, the situation hasn't changed. Aarti Ramchandran writes in her book of 2012 that after the results of these elections, many people start believing that Rahul Gandhi doesn't have political sharpness and experience. Aarti Ramchandran writes in her book that Rahul Gandhi has brought energy in campaigning.

But he hasn't brought a practical solution to the voters' problems. He does talk about people's problems. Whether it's water, electricity, roads, schools, or hospitals.

"The sad part is that if you look at Uttar Pradesh, these schemes don't reach the people. " But he doesn't create a plan to solve these problems. But despite the results of these elections, Rahul Gandhi gets promoted in the party.

In 2007, he was made the General Secretary of the All India Congress Committee. And he was included in the Congress Working Committee, the most important committee in Congress. Apart from this, he was made the leader of the Congress Student and Youth Wing.

He was called the young leader of the party. Along with him, he gave the position of secretary to many other young leaders in the All India Congress Committee. Like Jyotiradhitya Scindia, Sachin Pilot, Sandeep Dixit, Dipinder Hooda, Gaurav Gogoi, Jitin Prasad, Manish Tiwari, and Priya Dutt.

Along with this, he wants to change the politics of the party. In October 2008, Rahul Gandhi said: If I hadn't come from my family, I wouldn't be standing here today. My father was in politics, my grandmother was in politics, and my great-grandfather too.

That's why it was easy for me to enter politics. And that's what I want to change. ".

. . perhaps the ironical moment was Rahul Gandhi's stand on dynastic politics.

" "He said that he wanted to promote people within the organisation without consideration of their parentage. " That's why Rahul Gandhi announces that there will be internal elections in the party. This is a very revolutionary thing.

Because a young leader doesn't need connections anymore. And many leaders try to join the Indian Youth Congress. But does this theoretical policy practically get implemented?

On 23rd December 2008, elections are held for the President of the Punjab Youth Congress. Ranveer Singh 'Bittu' is contesting the elections. He is the grandson of the former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh.

Bittu easily wins the elections. Because another Chief Minister, Captain Amrinder Singh, supports him. So the question is, does Rahul Gandhi's promise actually get implemented or not?

In fact, apart from these elections, there are 22 other states where elections are held for the President of the Youth Congress. And on the contrary, it is alleged that during these elections, candidates distributed money and gifts to win votes. Now, Rahul Gandhi's first term as a Member of Parliament is coming to an end.

And how is his performance? His attendance is 63%. He has participated in 5 debates and asked 3 questions.

When asked about his performance in an interview, he said, I don't ask questions in Parliament because I want to think things through. You can see how questions are asked in Parliament. And you'll understand why I don't ask questions.

So during his first term, Rahul Gandhi takes responsibility for two things. For the elections in Uttar Pradesh and to change the culture of the Congress Party. And he doesn't succeed in either.

Well tried, but no victory. "What one piece of advise you have towards politicians? " "But I think the only idea would be that you know just work honestly and have pride in your nation.

" "Let's not take money under the table. " "You know, let's not do shady stuff. " "If you do it right, we all gonna make money, we're all gonna be happy and we'll all be great and very proud.

" "So my advice to all the politicians is, please be as honest as realistically possible. " Now it's the year 2009. The UPA government is campaigning for re-election.

And Rahul Gandhi is once again a star campaigner for this campaign. But this time, the results are in Rahul Gandhi's favor. He wins with more than 3 lakh votes in Amedhi.

The UPA government is re-elected with a large margin. "A big win for the UPA. " "Larger than imagined victory.

" Most electoral analysts say that Dr Manmohan Singh should be credited for this victory because he focused on economic growth. And Sonia Gandhi, who launched initiatives like the Right to Information Act and the Rural Employment Guarantee Act. Whatever the reason, Rahul Gandhi and his colleagues benefit from this victory.

Because many of his young colleagues also win in the elections. Leaders like Jyotiradhitya Scindia, Manish Tiwari and Sachin Pilot get ministerial positions in the government. PM Manmohan Singh also says that he's willing to give Rahul Gandhi a ministerial post.

This offer was first proposed in 2009 and then in 2010. In 2010, Dr Manmohan Singh said that Rahul is qualified for a cabinet post. He and I discussed this many times.

Two years later, in 2012, this offer was re-proposed. According to India Today, Dr Manmohan Singh has given this offer to Rahul Gandhi 10 times. But Rahul Gandhi keeps rejecting this offer saying that he wants to focus on the party.

A Congress leader says that Rahul Gandhi doesn't want to join the government so that PM Manmohan Singh gets his space and freedom. Pranab Mukherjee also offers the same thing to Rahul Gandhi. Pranab Mukherjee's daughter writes about her father in a book.

Her father says that Rahul Gandhi is a good man and asks a lot of questions. But he hasn't matured politically yet. On March 25, 2013, when Rahul Gandhi comes to meet Pranab Mukherjee, Pranab Mukherjee says that Rahul Gandhi is interested in many things.

But he jumps from one subject to another very quickly. I don't know how much he listened to me and how much he understood me. And we find many examples of this behavior.

For example, in 2008, Rahul Gandhi goes to Niyamgiri, Odisha, where the Dongria-Kondh tribe is protesting against mining activity by Vedanta. "Doing mining in those hills will destroy the environment. " "It'll destroy the water supply of thousands of people.

" "And the culture of thousands of people. " Because this mine will destroy the mountains they worship. Rahul Gandhi says to them that he is their soldier in Delhi.

"I'm your solider from Delhi. " "If you ever need me I'll stand by your side. " After this protest, the central government of the Congress forms a committee to investigate this issue.

And in 2010, two years later, Vedanta's license is cancelled. Then Rahul Gandhi goes back to that area and congratulates the tribals for their victory. But the government of Odisha challenges this decision in the Supreme Court, after which legal hearings start.

Finally, the decision is made in 2013, when all mining proposals are rejected. But between 2010 and 2013, Rahul Gandhi doesn't comment on this issue. This is what we see in May 2011, when Rahul Gandhi goes to Bhatta-Parsaul, Uttar Pradesh, where farmers are protesting against the government's land acquisition policies.

He somehow gets into the village and meets the farmers who are protesting against the government. Rahul Gandhi alleges that the government has killed many people and that there are mass graves on the ground, meaning many people have been buried. The police of Uttar Pradesh arrests him.

"Rahul Gandhi was arrested from Greater Noida's Bhatta Parsaul after a 19 hour-long demonstration. " But the allegations of mass graves are never proven. And the same thing that Pranab Mukherjee once said, that Rahul Gandhi jumps from one subject to another, can be seen in these two examples.

For example, in the case of Odisha, there are provisions in Schedule 5 of the Constitution that enable tribals to become active stakeholders in mining projects. But Rahul Gandhi doesn't do anything about it. And if we talk about the land acquisition policies of Uttar Pradesh, there were many debates on this issue during the UPA 2.

If Rahul Gandhi wanted, he could have participated in these debates and changed the policy. But no, he didn't do that. But Rahul Gandhi didn't do anything like that, neither in the Parliament nor outside the Parliament.

Meanwhile, the UPA government is being heavily criticized for its corruption scams. "Pricing is to be done by the Telecom Minister. " "And not by a group of ministers.

" "You are well aware that the 2G Scam was worth 1. 76 thousand crore. " But Rahul Gandhi didn't publicly address these issues.

For example, the 2G spectrum scam of 1. 76 lakh crores in 2010. Then there was the Commonwealth Games scam of 70,000 crores.

In fact, when reporters asked him about these scams, he wouldn't answer. "Everyone wants to know today, why didn't you speak up during 2G? " "Why didn't you speak up during Coalgate?

" "My position was that I report to the Prime Minister. " "Whatever I felt about these issues, I made it abundantly clear to the Prime Minister. " With this, opposition parties started mocking Rahul Gandhi.

In April 2013, at a gathering of the Confederation of Indian Industries, where many business tycoons were present, Rahul Gandhi didn't address the major problems of the country. Why is growth slowing down? Why is the current account deficit increasing?

Why don't we get investments in our country? In fact, he made many confusing statements. "China is a centralised system.

They call it the Drgon. " "It builds big structures that are visible. " "And people call us an elephant.

" "But we're not elephants. We're a beehive. " And social media goes crazy.

#PappuCII begins to trend. But Rahul Gandhi's progress is unaffected in the Congress Party. In 2013, he is made the Vice President of the Congress Party.

This is a stepping stone before becoming the party's president. But what does he say after becoming the Vice President? After this, Rahul Gandhi did something controversial.

In July 2013, the Supreme Court ruled that any MP or MLA who has been convicted for a crime and who has been sentenced for 2 years will be disqualified from their post. But Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's Cabinet overturned the Supreme Court ruling through an ordinance. It's 27th September 2013.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has gone to America on an official visit. And on the same day, Rahul Gandhi calls a press conference and says this: After Rahul Gandhi's public criticism, the ordinance was withdrawn. Some people said that Rahul Gandhi wants to move away from the mistakes of the UPA government.

But many people praised Rahul Gandhi for taking a public stand against the government's mistakes. Should he have publicly criticized the Prime Minister's decision or not? That's a different matter altogether.

But this move has shown that Rahul Gandhi can be decisive many times. Unfortunately, such moments are rare. During his second term, his attendance was only 43%, while the national average was 76%.

He participated in two debates but didn't ask any questions. And now it's time for another general election. Before these elections, the image of the Congress-led UPA government is bad due to corruption scandals.

BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's popularity is at an all-time high with his campaign slogans. But Rahul Gandhi's image is deteriorating either because of the jokes that are going viral on social media "This morning, I got up at night. " or because he's being publicly criticized for remaining silent on main issues.

"People are looking forward to his greater participation in the mainstream of the Congress organization. " Mohan Singh, the leader of the Samajwadi Party, says that he didn't get a chance to see any analysis of Rahul Gandhi on any important issue of the country. If we can't hear him out, how can we say that the country will be safe in his hands?

But this doesn't affect the Congress Party. Like Congress Minister Vayalar Ravi says, we now consider Rahul Gandhi as our leader and he's our hope. It's being argued that Rahul Gandhi will be the Prime Ministerial candidate of the Congress.

On 16th Jan, 2014, Congress announces that Rahul Gandhi will be the leader of the party during campaigning but doesn't say that he will be their Prime Ministerial candidate. Rahul Gandhi addresses this in his interview with Arnab Goswami. "Are you avoiding a direct face-off with Narendra Modi?

" "Is there a fear of loss, Rahul? " "In my life, I've seen my grandmother die, I've seen my father die, I've seen my grandmother go to jail and I've actually been through a tremendous amount of pain. " "What I had to be scared of, I lost.

" "There's absolutely nothing I'm scared of. " In the same interview, he says that he wants to change the system of the country. "I have an aim.

I have a clear aim in my mind. " "And the aim is, I do not like what I see in Indian politics. " "It's something that is inside my heart.

" This is a bit strange because the political system he's talking about, for the last 10 years, his party was leading the coalition government. And during those 10 years, he could have brought about a change in the government. But he rejected the offers.

So what change is he talking about? But before the 2014 elections, Rahul Gandhi meets many people in the society and then on March 26, 2014, he releases the Congress manifesto. "The manifesto that we have here is truly the voice of the people of this country.

' Many things are discussed in this manifesto. Such as the universal healthcare system, manufacturing backbone, reservation for women in the parliament, but the Congress party does not get the results. "The Congress has stopped decision-making body meeting for the first time after the party's.

. . " ".

. . worst embarrassing defeat in its history.

" "Almost all the doors are shut. " They only get 44 seats, which is the worst performance of the Congress party in any general election. The BJP gets 282 seats, which means that Narendra Modi will become the Prime Minister of the country with a majority.

"I, Narendra Damodardas Modi, as the Prime Minister, will carry out my duties. " In Rahul Gandhi's Amethi constituency, he does win, but his victory margin is reduced to 1 lakh from 3. 7 lakh.

After this defeat, Rahul Gandhi publicly takes responsibility. And in May 2019, during the Congress Working Committee, he offers his resignation. But what does the committee say?

Many members of the Congress party criticize this. Madhya Pradesh's Congress MP, Gufran Azam, wrote a letter to Sonia Gandhi on July 2014, saying that every parent wants their child to become a doctor or an engineer. But many parents' wishes don't come true.

You want to make Rahul a leader, and he was given 10 years, but he didn't become one. We feel ashamed. During Rahul Gandhi's leadership, many major political leaders left the Congress party.

Assam's prominent leader, Himanto Biswa Sarma, resigned. Vijay Bahuguna, Uttarakhand's former Chief Minister, resigned in 2016. And Kalikho Pul, Arunachal Pradesh's senior Congress leader, resigned.

After this, in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh's Congress party has to face defeat in state elections. They gain power by a small margin in Uttrakhand. But in the important UP elections in 2017, Congress suffers a huge defeat.

And after these elections, Rahul Gandhi disappears for 2 months. It turns out that he went to foreign countries for a vacation. But what's happening in the elections, and in the Congress party, is very different.

In the elections, even if his party is losing, in December 2017, Congress party gives him a promotion. He is made the new president of the Congress party. "But for the moment, the big breaking news is that Rahul Gandhi has been crowned the president of the Grand Old Party.

" From now on, the responsibility of the Congress party will be in the hands of Rahul Gandhi. " Within a year of becoming the president, he gets the most important victory of his political career. In Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan, Congress party wins state elections.

So the momentum of Congress is with the party. And in a few months, the 2019 elections are coming up. And what happens in those elections?

"I express my deepest gratitude to the 130 crore citizens of India. " "The voting figures of the 2019 elections, is the biggest incident in the history of the democratic world. " Congress party loses again.

BJP gets a historic 303 seats. And the biggest news is that in Amethi, the stronghold of the Gandhi family, Congress party loses there as well. And Rahul Gandhi loses to Smriti Irani.

"Rahul Gandhi also conceded defeat . . .

defeat of the Congress stronghold Amethi "After the poll, Rahul Gandhi addressed a press conference and he called this fight an ideological battle. " But this loss shouldn't be so surprising if you talk to the voters of Amethi. Indian Express reports that many voters were disappointed with Rahul Gandhi.

Voters say that Rahul Gandhi left us and he didn't do anything for our constituency. A voter says that the time was gone when Rahul Gandhi will file his nomination, show his hands to the people, and disappear. The workers of the Congress Party say that this was bound to happen.

A local voter from Amethi says that how long will a son keep winning in the name of his legacy? This picture becomes even stronger when you look at Amethi's economic statistics. In 2016, the per capita income there was around Rs.

31,000. The average income in UP is Rs. 39,000.

Two days after the election results, on May 25, 2019, the Congress Working Committee holds a meeting where Dr Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and other senior party leaders are present. During the meeting, Rahul Gandhi offers his resignation. "Rahul Gandhi has offered his resignation.

" "This is a breaking news. " "It's the biggest twist. " This is the second time Rahul Gandhi has tried to resign.

Five years ago, after the 2014 elections, he did the same thing. But as the saying goes, history repeats itself. The Congress Working Committee rejects his resignation again.

Two months later, Rahul Gandhi posts a letter on Twitter. "We'll talk about the biggest news of the day. " "Rahul Gandhi has officially announced that he is no longer the president of the Congress Party.

" "He took responsibility for the defeat of the Congress Party in the 2019 elections. " What's in this letter? --His official resignation from the Presidential post of the Congress Party.

He says that he is responsible for the defeat of the Congress Party. For the future growth of the party, accountability is very important. And that's why he's resigning.

With this he becomes the first person from the Gandhi family who resigned from the Congress President's post. Many people believe that this is a good decision because the Congress Party can be reformed. But for the next 77 days, there's no change.

There's no leader of the Congress Party. Finally, on 9th August, Sonia Gandhi is made interim president. But after that, there's no change in the party.

Rahul Gandhi resigned a year ago. But the country's second-largest political party doesn't get a leader. That's why Sonia Gandhi remains interim president for a year.

But then, the party is plunged into chaos. On 23rd August 2020, many senior Congress leaders wrote a letter to Sonia Gandhi. They say that the Congress Party has lost support among the country's youth.

And they need to take a firm step. First, they want a dedicated and effective leadership in the party. Second, they want elections for the Congress Working Committee.

And third, they want a structured leadership system for the party. In response to this letter, Sonia Gandhi says that she'll resign from the interim president's post. But after a 7-hour meeting, it's announced that Sonia Gandhi will remain president until a new president is elected.

This means that things kept going in circles. At the same time, the role of Rahul Gandhi in the party is unclear. He's not on the list of General Secretary, Secretary, or Joint Secretary.

But he's a member of the Congress Working Committee, where all important decisions are made. In 2022, there are 7 state elections. And only in Himachal Pradesh, the Congress Party wins.

A sitting Congress MP sends a message to his friend, the Congress story is over. But finally, three years after Rahul Gandhi's resignation, the country's second-largest political party elects a president. "I, Madhusudan Mistry hereby declare Shree Mallikarjun Kharge elected as the president of the Indian National Congress.

" But the role of Rahul Gandhi in the party is unclear. Because he's not the party's president. But during the Himachal Pradesh election campaign, he campaigned as if he was the Congress president.

"Rahul Gandhi will be making an appearance in the state election campaign on the 8th of November. " Now Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra starts. From Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu to the Himalayas.

This journey takes 150 days. And this is the first example of Rahul Gandhi's decisively completing a task or project. This journey gets a positive response.

And many Congress supporters believe that he has reinvented himself and the party through this journey. But Rahul Gandhi doesn't say that. In an interview, he says that the purpose of this journey is to reimagine India.

The journey ends in January 2023. But after that, Rahul Gandhi's problems start. "Today, the Surat Court announced a 2-year prison sentence to Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case.

" "This caused a stir. " On March 23, 2023, a court in Surat convicts him of a criminal defamation case. Because during the 2019 election campaign, Rahul Gandhi said this in Karnataka: "Why do all thieves have Modi as their last name?

" "Nirav Modi, Narendra Modi. " In response, Purnesh Modi, a former BJP minister in Gujarat, filed a defamation case against Rahul Gandhi. Now, because of the conviction of Surat court, Rahul Gandhi is disqualified as an MP.

And he can't even stand for the general elections. Remember that his disqualification is due to the law that he supported against Manmohan Singh's government. "It's complete nonsense.

" But thankfully, before the 2024 elections, Rahul Gandhi gets relief from the Supreme Court. And he's ready to fight these elections. Many people speculate that apart from Wayanad he'll fight against Smriti Rani to win back Amethi.

But he doesn't stand from Amethi. He stands with Rai Bareilly. "All the speculation is over.

" "Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will fight for a second seat. " "But it's not Amethi. Rahul Gandhi has gone with Rai Bareilly.

" Despite this, 5 years ago, he said he'll fight in Amethi to win back the constituency. "Back then, Rahul Gandhi had promised to win back Amethi to return 5 years later. " When the Congress manifesto is released, apart from the president's face, you'll see another face.

A man who doesn't have an official post in the party. Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi is asked if he wants to be the prime minister candidate for a new INDIA coalition.

He replies: After the elections, it will be decided who will be the leader of the coalition. The results of the 2024 elections are announced, BJP forms a coalition government. But it's as if the Congress party is celebrating.

Because their seats have doubled compared to the last election. We can argue that Rahul Gandhi has improved. But is this improvement enough?

Especially when he's running the country's second-largest political party. I want to remind you of what Pranab Mukherjee said about Rahul Gandhi. He has an interest in many subjects.

But he jumps from one subject to another very quickly. I don't know how much he listened to me and how much he understood me. We can investigate this by focusing on an issue that Rahul Gandhi has focused on.

Farmer welfare. Let's see what he said and did about farmers. Sitaram Meena is a 65-year-old farmer from Rajasthan.

In 2019, he took a loan of Rs 22 lakh to buy agricultural equipment for his farm for irrigation. For this loan, he had to lease 28 acres of his land. Before the 2018 Rajasthan state elections, Rahul Gandhi said this while campaigning in Bikaner.

"You join your hands and beg the Prime Minister and Chief Minister to wave off your loans. " "But they refuse to wave off farm loans. " There are two problems with this statement.

The first policy he's promoting is the Farm Loan Waiver. With the Farm Loan Waiver, farmers' problems can be solved at once. But no farmer will become rich with this policy.

That will happen when we bring about structural change in agriculture in our country. But Rahul Gandhi doesn't offer a solution in his speeches. What will he do after he waves off the farm loans?

His focus is only on waving off loans. We don't know what will happen next. This is the first problem.

Let's assume that this is the best policy in the world. Let's see if Rahul Gandhi has executed this policy or not. In 2018, when the Congress Party won the Rajasthan state elections, Ashok Gailot became the Chief Minister.

But four years later, the Congress Party didn't keep its promises. In fact, Jagdish, a farmer from Rajasthan, said: Politicians only ask for votes. The Congress Party didn't fulfill its promises.

And we have no hope left in them. Because the Congress Party promised a complete Farm Loan waiver. They will wave off everyone's loans.

But what happened? Only short-term loans were waived for farmers who took a loan from a co-operative bank for a maximum of Rs. 2 lakh.

But the majority of farmers' loans in Rajasthan don't fall under this bracket. "The Congress party will join hands with other opposition parties to make Narendra Modi waive off farm loans. " "We'll stand firm on our ground.

" "We won't let them sleep at night until the farm loans are waived off. " And according to the Lok Niti Survey, this is the reason why the Congress Party loses the next state elections in Rajasthan. 50% of Rajasthan's farmers say that their economic condition hasn't improved during the Congress rule.

But Rahul Gandhi has repeatedly spoken about farmers in the Parliament. For example, between 2019 and 2023, Rahul Gandhi participated in eight debates, two of which were about farmers. But did Rahul Gandhi's policy decisions change the conditions of farmers?

According to a survey conducted in 2016, the monthly income of farmers in Rajasthan is ₹8,300, which is 3% higher than the national average. And when the survey was conducted in 2021, their income was ₹13,000, which is 2% higher than the national average. So Congress got five years in Rajasthan, where Rahul Gandhi said that he would change the lives of farmers.

But did that happen? No. This is the problem with Rahul Gandhi's politics.

He says a lot of things, but where's the execution? India's former Prime Minister, late Dr Manmohan Singh, said that history will be kinder to him. But can we say the same about Rahul Gandhi?

Now, this is true that he might be a very good person. But if you listen to his personal story, it's clear that he's a good man. For example, in 2012, Nirbhaya case victim's family said that Rahul Gandhi took care of them emotionally and by giving them money.

And they told him to keep it a secret. For us, this incident is like a deep wound, but Rahul Gandhi appeared to us like an angel. The point is that Rahul Gandhi has been convinced, or maybe his people around him have convinced him, that he was born to be a politician, that it's his destiny to be a political leader.

Because his legacy is so great. But why? In 2019, he said: As President of the Congress Party, I am responsible for the 2019 election loss.

And accountability is very important for the growth of our party. But in Rahul Gandhi's world, this accountability comes and goes. If he was a cricketer or a CEO, he would've been removed by now.

But because his name is Gandhi, he has the luxury of having zero accountability. But someone needs to tell Rahul Gandhi that if he cares about our democracy, then him quitting will be the best thing for Indian democracy.
