1. A POLITICAL SATTIRE
Why Rahul Gandhi is facing a substantial decay?
The person on the left, in this image, clearly depicts that why we are
talking about Rahul Gandhi today. Born in 70s, educated in various
famous schools and universities of the world, and contesting on his
father's constituency Amethi, is all what I know about him. Google Maps
says that it is '1 hour 9 mins' from Raebareily to Amethi, where Raebareily
is Sonia Gandhi's constituency. These seats are considered very safe for
Gandhi Family as they have been contesting here from past three to four
decades.
Despite being second-ranked member of the Congress Working
Committee, Rahul Gandhi has lost confidence of youths in the nation in
the last few years. I remember that he visited Jabalpur quite a long time
ago in an event 'Samvaad' in which he interacted with the college
students in St. Aloysius. In those days he was considered as an national
2. political hero and citizens of India were so keen to look at him as PM. At
that time BJP also didn't had any one-on-one opponent ready for Rahul
Gandhi. In those days Rahul used to deliver sophisticated speeches about
youths and development. But then, later on, those discussions &
speeches were never implemented. But still he had an clear image away
from controversies.
The headline to this post refers to a 'substantial decay', which means an
necessary decomposition. Rahul is always seen avoiding public debates
and media interviews. We rarely see in him on News channels. His inactiveness during Anna's Movement, and then during Damini's Protests
completely shattered his image in youths and common men. In those
days, if he took a stand against the Police action on young students, no
doubt he would have entered into the cloud on emotions of students.
But this did not happened. And thus a substantial decay was required for
him.
We need not promises, we need execution. We need Security. We need
Career Opportunities. We need development. We need leaders who care
about us. Stop fooling youths, don't try to assassinate our dreams. This
message is not targeted to Rahul Gandhi and Congress, it is targeted to
each and every youth representative in this country. Be it Congress and
NSUI, or BJP and ABVP or any other political group.
Do think! Jai Hind!!
